Which risk increases when a high-powered laser's cooling system fails under industrial conditions?

💡 Explanation

Increased thermal lensing distortion occurs because uneven heating in the laser medium changes the refractive index distribution across the gain medium if the cooling system fails. Therefore, beam quality degrades, rather than alternative effects appearing which require different material properties.
