Which consequence results when spatial mode mismatch occurs in intracavity laser systems?

💡 Explanation

Increased thermal lens aberration results because the mismatch causes non-uniform heating. This leads to uneven refractive index changes within the laser medium via thermo-optic effect, therefore increasing phase distortion rather than lower gain because alternative frequency conversion schemes are not directly tied to spatial mode overlap.
