Which optical effect degrades stimulated emission performance within a Xenon chloride excimer laser?

A)Spatial mode beating increases rapidly
B)Reduced gain medium coherence length
C)Chromatic wavefront aberrations dominate beam
D)Thermal lensing drastically exceeds output

💡 Explanation

Reduced coherence length degrades stimulated emission, because photons encounter varying refractive indices which cause dephasing. Therefore optical gain is reduced, rather than increased mode beating, because inhomogeneities dominate.
