← ScienceWhich risk increases when a pulsed laser-induced capacitor short-circuits?
A)Increased substrate material ablation✓
B)Enhanced Raman scattering signature
C)Reduced plasma shielding efficacy
D)Improved harmonic conversion efficiency
💡 Explanation
Substrate ablation increases following a capacitive short circuit, because the stored electrical energy discharges rapidly, causing a thermal spike via dielectric breakdown; therefore, material is vaporized rather than other laser effects occurring due to controlled energy deposition.
