Which consequence results when a high-power laser strikes optical fiber?

💡 Explanation

Material ablation causes the fiber to degrade because rapid heating leads to vaporization, directly removing material. Therefore, ablation damages the fiber, rather than improving properties, preventing proper light transmission and total internal REFLECTION; therefore damaging the material.
