Which consequence results when optical feedback destabilizes a femtosecond laser cavity?

💡 Explanation

Unwanted optical feedback often broadens the pulse duration by introducing instabilities into the pulse shaping intracavity; because of the disruptive coupling through amplified spontaneous emission, mode-locking starts deteriorating, therefore temporal spreading is observed, rather than lower gain or increased sensitivity.
