← ScienceWhich risk increases when a pulsed laser's repetition rate approaches a material's thermal relaxation time?
A)Ablation threshold reduction occurs✓
B)Stimulated Brillouin scattering decline
C)Self-phase modulation strengthens
D)Four-wave mixing efficiency declines
💡 Explanation
Ablation threshold reduction increases because heat accumulation exceeds dissipation via thermal diffusion; this thermal ratchet outcome lowers the needed energy, rather than the decline or strengthening of other optical phenomena in different scenarios.
