Theoretical and Experimental Study on Femtosecond Laser-induced Damage in MgF2 Crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study single-shot damage morphology of MgF2 irradiated under 800 nm laser using scanning electronic microscope (SEM). The dependence of damage threshold on laser pulse width is measured by the linear relationship between the area of damage spot and the logarithm of laser energy. The pulse duration ranges from 55 fs to 750 fs. We develop the multiple-equation model (Phys. Rev. Lett. Vol.92, pp.187401, 2004), in which two-photon absorption in the conduction band is considered. The experimental results agree well with our model.

متن کاملLaser Induced Damage Studies on Al2O3, SiO2, and MgF2 Thin Films for Anti-Reflection Coating Application in High Power Laser Diode
The laser diode facet damage is one of the impeding factors of the high-power laser diode operation. To overcome this restriction laser diode facet coating can be utilized. During the high power operation of the laser diode, it is observed that the single layer anti reflection (AR) coating at the front facet shows optical damage while the multilayer high reflective coating at the back facet rem...
متن کاملThe study of propagation of a femtosecond laser pulse in the breast tissue
In this paper, the evaluation of time profile of a femtosecond pulse laser propagated through biological tissues is studied. The majority of the biological tissues with a high scattering anisotropy must be considered as turbid media, that their optical responses are complicated. To study the propagation of ultra-short pulse in turbid media, the diffuse equation is used. In this study, the analy...
