Which optical effect decreases in a laser cavity from mirror misalignment?

💡 Explanation

Misaligned mirrors cause photons to take varied paths, and therefore laser gain decreases; Spatial coherence diminishes, because consistent phase relationships are disrupted rather than altered refractive index or quantum efficiency which depend on the material directly.
