Which risk increases in a semiconductor laser when temperature rises?

💡 Explanation

Reduced population inversion follows from increased temperature: the Fermi distribution broadens; carrier energy distributions overlap; this reduces the number of electrons in the required upper energy band. Therefore, population inversion decreases, rather than increase, because thermal effects dominate.
