Which outcome typically occurs when thermally-induced deformation misaligns laser mirrors?

💡 Explanation

Misalignment causes decreased coherence because cavity gain diminishes due to non-ideal constructive interference. Therefore, power drops and coherence is affected, rather than increased stimulated emission or mode-locking issues because alignment is disrupted.
