Which risk significantly increases when a pulsed, high-power laser encounters optical components?

💡 Explanation

Material ablation is prone due to increased power density. Because pulse width reduction amplifies power, even moderate energy causes rapid surface evaporation. Therefore, ablation worsens, rather than Raman scattering decreasing or self-focusing overcoming the effect induced with increased power exposure.
