← ScienceWhich mode lasing increases when pulsed laser's resonator shortens?
A)Longitudinal mode frequency separation✓
B)Thermal lensing within gain medium
C)Transverse mode spatial overlap
D)Stimulated emission cross section
💡 Explanation
Shorter resonator length will increase longitudinal mode frequency separation because the longitudinal modes are determined by the cavity length and Fabry-Pérot effect. Larger separation occurs, therefore higher frequency modes lase rather than lower frequency modes dominating due to gain bandwidth.
