1. ~ 2 μm laser crystals doped with Tm3+ or Ho3+Tm3+ has a strong absorption near ~790 nm and a large absorption cross-section, so the ~790 nm commercial LD can be directly used as a pump source. Another feature and advantage of this band is that there is a cross-relaxation (CR) energy transfer

3.4 Laser pretreatment of DKDP component The laser-damaged precursor of DKDP crystals (provided by WISOPTIC) is in the material body, so it is different from the removal of surface nodule defects in dielectric films. Laser pretreatment cannot remove the precursors in the body, but can only reduce

Nanoscale laser damage precursorsDifferent from microscopic defects, defects are called precursors here. Defects generally refer to observable microstructures that are different from the characteristics of the surrounding matrix materials, and are often observed by optical microscopy. The

Laser damage induced by microscopic defects in optical componentsAccording to the above numerical analysis results, it can be seen that cracks may be generated around the nodule seed and propagate along the radial direction. However, considering that the boundaries of nodules are usually relatively
