Effect of Laser Irradiation on Optical Properties and Damage Threshold of Nd:Glass

Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

We investigate the effects of 10.6 μm CO2 laser irradiation and 572 nm dye laser irradiation on optical properties and laser damage threshold of Nd:glass. We study the transmission, additional absorption (AA) spectra, and damage threshold of the samples before and after the irradiation. The results obtained indicate that irradiation of Nd:glass by pulsed CO2 and dye lasers is extremely effective for decrease of defects and increase in damage thresholds. The damage threshold of Nd:glass increases by a factor of 4.13 for dye laser and a factor of 3.1 for CO2 laser.
