← ScienceWhich effect results when pulsed laser light travels through barium borate?
A)Self-phase modulation decreases pulse duration✓
B)Rayleigh scattering prevents frequency doubling
C)Gain narrowing maximizes output efficiency
D)Spatial hole burning creates spectral broadening
💡 Explanation
Self-phase modulation causes a time-dependent phase shift of the laser pulse because the refractive index changes with intensity, therefore shortening pulse duration, rather than broadening it; other options involve unrelated laser impairments.
