Which risk increases when laser light encounters an etalon with imperfections?

💡 Explanation

Imperfect etalons cause variations in phase delay, leading to interference and thus uneven amplification across different frequencies. Therefore, off-axis modes may lase if their gain exceeds threshold because of constructive interference zones, rather than uniform single-mode output.
