Which consequence results when exceeding power limits of excimer laser focusing optics?

💡 Explanation

Thermal lensing emerges because high laser power induces non-uniform heating of the optics causing localized refractive index changes—a Thermal expansion mechanism—which acts like a lens. Therefore, divergence increases rather than mode fluctuations because thermal gradients dominate at these powers.
