Which risk increases when a gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor laser's pulsed operation frequency rises excessively, approaching material limits?

💡 Explanation

Electron velocity saturation increases failure risk because mobile charges cannot accelerate infinitely; the drift velocity approaches a maximum, increasing heat generation therefore potentially damaging or melting the crystal lattice, rather than other frequency-dependent effects like dispersion.
