Damage on HfO2/SiO2 high-reflecting coatings under single and multiple Nd:YAG laser pulse irradiation

The single- and multi-shot damage behaviors of HfO2/SiO2 high-reflecting (HR) coatings under Nd:YAG laser exposure were investigated. Fundamental aspects of multi-shot laser damage, such as the instability due to pulse-to-pulse accumulation of absorption defect and structural defect effect, and the mechanism of laser induced defect generation, are considered. It was found in multi-shot damage, the main factors influencing laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) are accumulation of irreversible changes of structural defects and thermal stress that induced by thermal density fluctuations.

单晶硅材料的1064nmNd：YAG脉冲激光损伤特性研究

作为微电子和光电子系统中普遍使用的一种结构材料，单晶硅一直是人们研究的焦点。长期以来，人们对其电学性质进行了非常深入细致的研究，却疏于对其抗击强激光辐照特性的研究。随着激光通讯和光电对抗技术的发展，对光学材料的激光破坏特性和加固技术进行研究的需求也显得越来越迫切。本文主要对单晶硅的抗激光损伤特性进行研究，研究了单晶硅材料在1064nmNd：YAG激光自由脉冲输出模式和单脉冲输出模式作用下的损伤特性，通过对两种激光作用下单晶硅损伤形貌的分析，在热效应与热力耦合模型的基础上，对单晶硅的激光损伤机制进行了探索。

Laser-induced damage of Ta2O5/S1O2 narrow-band interference filters under different 1064 nm Nd : YAG laser modes

The laser-induced damage (LID) behavior of narrow-band interference filters was investigated with a Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm under single-pulse mode and free-running mode. The absorption measurement of such coatings was performed with surface thermal lensing (STL) technique. The damage morphologies under the two different laser modes were also studied in detail. It was found that all the filters exhibited a pass-band-center-dependent absorption and laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) behavior, but the damage morphologies were diverse. The explanation was given with the analysis of the electric field distribution and the operational behavior of the irradiation laser. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Nd：YAG激光器光栅式扫描预处理的计算模拟与优化分析

采用计算模拟的方法．研究了光栅式扫描预处理的扫描方式以及脉冲能量波动、定位误差对预处理效率的影响。研究发现。脉冲能量波动及其定位误差使预处理效率降低，同时其影响与扫描方式之间存在相互调制作用．因此可以通过选择合适的扫描方式以及扫描间隔来优化预处理流程，提高预处理效率。此外发现，光斑呈等边三角形排列时的预处理效率优于正方形。
