Which risk increases when a high-intensity laser excites valence electrons to higher unoccupied orbitals in a dielectric mirror's coating?

💡 Explanation

The risk of multi-photon absorption rises because higher intensity light increases the probability of multiple photons exciting an electron simultaneously via non-linear absorption, thereby exciting electrons past the bandgap rather than standard single-photon absorption.
