Which outcome occurs when a mode-locked laser's cavity length changes?

💡 Explanation

Pulse duration broadens since mode-locking stability depends on precise cavity resonance leading to constructive interference. Group velocity dispersion causes temporal stretching that broadens the pulse durations; therefore, laser peak output is attenuated rather than increasing coherence.
