Which consequence results when excessive optical pumping affects a laser cavity?

💡 Explanation

Gain saturation leads to reduced laser energy output when molecules cannot be promoted to higher energy states; this is because the rate of stimulated emission equals the pump rate. Therefore the cavity cannot amplify light, rather than seeing increased spontaneous emission if it were thermally limited.
