Which risk increases when high-power laser diodes experience thermal runaway?

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic optical mirror damage can occur with increased lattice temperature; this happens because band gap narrowing increases photon absorption, a positive feedback loop, due to lower energy transitions, rather than increased lasing as alternate answers imply.
