Which risk increases when a green laser undergoes rapid thermal cycling?

💡 Explanation

Thermal cycling induces mechanical stress on optical components; therefore, the laser’s precision alignment degrades because of thermal expansion. This results in reduced coherence length, rather than improved efficiency, due to increased entropy as light path lengths diverge.
