Which spectral change occurs in ruby lasers under pressure?

A)Lines broaden via phonon interactions
B)Mode-locking becomes inherently unstable
C)Gain medium saturates uniformly
D)Resonator losses abruptly minimize

💡 Explanation

The compression of ruby crystals causes closely spaced energy levels as atoms move closer, increasing phonon occupancy because this increases electron-phonon interactions; so spectral linewidth broadens, therefore, rather than cleaner mode-locking or minimization of loss since pressure induces more disruptions.
