← ScienceWhich consequence results when optical cavity length fluctuates?
A)Reduced laser coherence length✓
B)Increased power supply consumption
C)Damage to reflective coatings
D)Increased thermal lensing effects
💡 Explanation
Reduced laser coherence length results because cavity length fluctuations cause variations of the longitudinal modes via mode competition. This broadens the frequency linewidth because it disrupts temporal coherence that governs laser performance, therefore coherence becomes reduced rather than promoting stability.
