Which risk markedly increases when a surgical laser's mirrors misalign?

💡 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.
