← ScienceWhich consequence results when exceeding the pulse duration limit in ultrafast lasers?
A)Reduced average output power
B)Increased spectral broadening occurs
C)Cavity mirror damage susceptibility✓
D)Suppressed stimulated Raman scattering
💡 Explanation
Laser-induced damage threshold decreases due to thermal accumulation during longer pulses, making cavity mirrors vulnerable via **heat accumulation**; therefore, damage is more likely, rather than power reduction, spectral restriction, or Raman effects, because the heat doesn't dissipate quickly.
