Which risk increases during laser cutting when reactive fumes contaminate the lens?

A)Increased material kerf dimension
B)Reduced maximum cutting depth
C)Catastrophic optical damage occurs
D)Elevated surface roughness forms

💡 Explanation

Contamination enables absorption; this occurs because reactive species deposit and undergo photochemical reactions. This decreases the transmissive efficiency via **non-linear absorption**, therefore causing lens overheating, rather than dimensional changes or minor material defects, due to localized thermal runaway.
