Which consequence results when misalignment hampers a laser beam?

💡 Explanation

Laser misalignment reduces stimulated emission because photons miss active gain medium regions reducing the stimulated emission rate thereby favoring spontaneous emission; therefore, optical pumping efficiency diminishes, rather than options B, C, and D relating directly to different underlying laser properties.
