← ScienceWhich outcome occurs from thermal expansion inside pulsed laser amplifiers?
A)Beam divergence increases significantly✓
B)Wavelength becomes intrinsically more stable
C)Gain saturation reduces rapidly
D)Output polarization remains highly uniform
💡 Explanation
Thermal expansion causes variations in the refractive index through thermo-optic effect; therefore, beam divergence greatly increases because the changing index acts as a lens, rather than maintaining cohesion as in solid-state cooling.
