← ScienceWhich consequence results when airborne dust contaminates laser optics?
A)Thermal lensing causes beam distortion✓
B)Reduced coherence increases speckle size
C)Increased power improves material processing
D)Enhanced reflection prevents surface damage
💡 Explanation
Dust absorption leads to localized heating, therefore thermal lensing causes beam distortion, rather than increasing power or enhancing reflection which would mitigate rather than exacerbate the problem, because coherence isn't directly affected by dust.
