← ScienceWhich risk increases when a pulsed laser anneals an optical fiber?
A)Material ablation due to laser fluence✓
B)Increased fiber core refractive index
C)Reduced fiber bending fracture toughness
D)Chromium dopant diffusion into the silica
💡 Explanation
The primary risk is material ablation because laser fluence exceeds the ablation threshold, leading to unwanted material removal through photoionization, therefore ablation occurs near intense pulsed regions, rather than refractive changes which require lower powers, or dopant diffusion which requires specific environments.
