Which outcome results from excessive optical pumping in polarizing filters?

💡 Explanation

Excessive pumping diminishes the material's ability to maintain polarization via photobleaching, caused by aligning molecular dipoles. As polarization weakens, the extinction ratio falls, because unwanted polarization contaminates the filtered signal, rather than enhancing harmonic signals.
