Which risk increases when a pulsed laser encounters Raman-active material?

💡 Explanation

Increased intensity causes stimulated Raman scattering, resulting in frequency shifted photons because energy transfers to the medium’s vibrational modes; therefore, unwanted wavelengths emerge rather than solely the initial laser frequency because of Stokes/anti-Stokes waves.
