Which material property limits efficiency when focusing pulsed lasers?

💡 Explanation

Chromatic dispersion causes varying wavelengths to focus at different points, therefore pulse spreading reduces intensity rather than absorption or reflection, because focusing is impaired due to frequency-dependent refraction.
