Which risk increases when optical pumping of a solid-state laser shifts off-peak?

💡 Explanation

Thermal lens distortion increases because non-radiative relaxation dominates via phonon emission, causing uneven heating. Therefore, the refractive index gradients disrupt the beam profile, rather than efficient lasing that occurs with optimal wavelength alignment.
