← ScienceWhich risk increases when excimer laser coherence degrades?
A)Reduced precision of laser micromachining✓
B)Increased thermal lensing in optics
C)Enhanced stimulated emission dominance
D)Decreased energy consumption by cooling
💡 Explanation
Degraded excimer laser coherence reduces the consistency of the laser’s wavefront phase, weakening its ability to focus to a precise spot within a material due to decreased spatial uniformity, rather than increased heat; therefore, machined features become less accurately defined rather than others.
