Growth of laser damage on fused silica optical components depends on several key
parameters including laser fluence, wavelength, pulse duration, and site size. Here we …

We demonstrate the effects of typical bulk defects in fused silica on the bulk damage
threshold under nanosecond UV pulse in this study. A new test method is proposed to …

We study the dynamics of energy deposition and subsequent material response associated
with exit surface damage growth in fused silica using a time resolved microscope system …

The laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of ultra-precision machined potassium
dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystal is always lower than the intrinsic threshold. However …

To alleviate laser-induced threats in the high-power laser systems, it is necessary to
understand the debris propagation process and distribution characteristics, then take …

Historically, the rate at which laser-induced damage sites grow on the exit surface of SiO_2
optics under subsequent illumination with nanosecond-laser pulses of any wavelength was …

Laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) of input/exit surfaces and filamentation of fused
silica under low-temporal coherence light (LTCL) and a corresponding damage mechanism …

To comprehensively reveal the influence regularity of different glass melting temperatures
on the ultraviolet (UV) laser-induced damage resistance of fluoride-containing phosphate …

Exposure to UV light induces structural changes in silica glass. This leads to a change in
density, refractive index, optical absorption, and stress. Prolonged exposure causes …

We studied filamentation, front surface damage and rear surface damage at 1064 nm and
351 nm with nanosecond pulses on a fused silica optical window. With temporally single …
