← ScienceWhich 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.
