Thermoelastic destruction of transparent media by laser radiation

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that thermoelastic stresses may be the mechanism for the laser destruction of homogeneous transparent media having high thermal and elastical strength, at least during the initial stage of this destruction. Threshold values of the radiation density required for thermoelastic destruction are calculated.
