← ScienceWhich consequence arises when multimode laser diodes lose coherence?
A)Increased beam divergence occurs rapidly✓
B)Output wavelength will exhibit blueshift
C)Improved spectral density is attained
D)Overall modal gain becomes greater
💡 Explanation
Increased beam divergence arises from reduced coherence; because spatial coherence degrades, wavefronts spread unevenly due to amplified spontaneous emission. Therefore, divergence worsens, rather than improving spectral density, because diverse lasing paths emerge.
