Which unwanted lasing outcome increases inside high-power laser amplifiers?

💡 Explanation

Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) grows because photons are amplified along the gain medium's length. This presents a risk in high-power amplifiers; therefore, ASE increases exponentially, rather than desired stimulated emission; different wavelengths also undergo amplification.
