Laser damage induced by microscopic defects in optical componentsNodule defect is a typical representative of microscopic defects, and it is one of the main discoveries in the study of laser damage to thin films in the 1990s. At present, a lot of research has been done on the electric field

Since defects induce laser damage, and defects are randomly distributed in optical components, the detection and evaluation of laser damage performance of optical components has become another important research content. The standard for laser damage threshold testing was established in the 1990s

Based on the basic principles of laser damage, researchers have found a breaking through point to solve the problem of laser damage to optical components. But it is very difficult to effectively suppress the source of laser damage in the manufacturing process. Given the variety and complexity of

In 1962, the American scientist McClung F J reported for the first time that the silver mirror of the ruby laser resonator had hole burning damage, which was the first public report on the laser damage of optical components. The subsequent invention of Q-switching technology and mode-locking

MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUEThe measurement technique consists primarily of a measurement of the variation of the angle of deviation with temperature. The crystals to be measured were 60-60-60° prisms approximately 15 mm on a side. They were attached to a temperature-controlled mount in a vacuum chamber.

The variant of refractive indices with temperature is an essential crystal parameter in nonlinear optics. it is well known that the wavelength at which 90° phase-matched 2nd-harmonic era happens depends on temperature. the variation of this wavelength with temperature can be predicted with a
