Which consequence results when rapid back reflections affect a pulsed laser?

💡 Explanation

Mode locking pulse destabilization occurs because back reflections introduce interference causing fluctuations in the laser cavity's gain and leading to loss of synchronization in the pulses. Therefore, pulses broaden and the mode lock becomes unstable rather than maintain a stabilized state.
