← ScienceWhich risk markedly increases when a surgical laser's mirrors misalign?
A)Reduced laser power amplification efficiency
B)Increased risk of unintended tissue damage✓
C)Higher cooling load on chiller system
D)Elevated concentration of monochromatic photons
💡 Explanation
Mirror misalignment leads to lower cavity gain, meaning Stimulated Emission will occur outside the intended focal point because energy is no longer directed; therefore, unintended damage increases, rather than efficient amplification or better beam alignment.
