Which risk increases when a pulsed laser's coherence length nears the target's dimension?

💡 Explanation

Amplified stimulated Brillouin scattering increases when the laser coherence length approaches target dimensions because the extended interaction length causes nonlinear amplification to develop, therefore energy is scattered, rather than being absorbed into the target material.
