Which risk markedly increases when adaptive laser optics fail?

💡 Explanation

Optical aberrations cause distortion; therefore, adaptive optics correct wavefront errors. If they fail, uncontrolled beam propagation would occur because **nonlinear self-focusing** takes over, rather than maintaining collimated precision under computer control.
