Title: Measurement of optical scattered power from laser-induced shallow pits on silica

Abstract

We describe a model for far-field scattered power and irradiance by a silica glass slab with a shallow-pitted exit surface and is experimentally validated. The comparison to the model is performed using a precisely micromachined ensemble of ~11 μm wide laser ablated shallow pits producing 1% of the incident beam scatter in a 10 mrad angle. This series of samples with damage initiations and laser-induced shallow pits resulting from 351 nm, 5 ns pulsed laser cleaning of metal microparticles at different fluences between 2 J/cm² and 11 J/cm² are characterized as well and found in good agreement with model predictions.

Impact of laser-contaminant interaction on the performance of the protective capping layer of 1w high-reflection mirror coatings

Journal Article Qiu, S. R. ; Norton, M. A. ; Raman, R. N. ; ... - Applied Optics

In this paper, high dielectric constant multilayer coatings are commonly used on high-reflection mirrors for high-peak-power laser systems because of their high laser-damage resistance. However, surface contaminants often lead to damage upon laser exposure, thus limiting the mirror’s lifetime and performance. One plausible approach to improve the overall mirror resistance against laser damage, including that induced by laser-contaminant coupling, is to coat the multilayers with a thin protective capping (absentee) layer on top of the multilayer coatings. An understanding of the underlying mechanism by which laser-particle interaction leads to capping layer damage is important for the rational design and selectionmore »« less

Substrate-engraved antireflective nanostructured surfaces for high-power laser applications

Journal Article Ray, Nathan J. ; Yoo, Jae-Hyuck ; Nguyen, Hoang T. ; ... - Optica

A critical component for all high-power laser systems that is particularly susceptible to laser damage is the antireflective coating, which maximizes energy transmission and minimizes scattered and stray light. We demonstrate the ability to generate substrate-engraved nanostructured surfaces (NS) for scalable and designable antireflective (AR) coatings that are monolithic to the substrate and can handle peak power levels comparable to the bulk material. Experimentally measured reflectance from these fabricated structures has validated our effective index theory-based transmission matrix model, demonstrating the designability of the AR properties. Upon exposure to sufficiently high fluences, a new mode of damage, nanostructured surface damage,more »« less

Fracture of fused silica with 351 nm laser-generated surface cracks

Journal Article Dahmani, F ; Lambropoulos, J C ; Schmid, A W ; ... - Journal of Materials Research

Laser-induced-surface-flaw experiments on fused silica at 351 nm and 500 ps pulse duration are reported here. Specimens with surface flaws produced at a measured exit-surface damage threshold fluence of F{sub exit/th}thinsp=thinsp10&hthinsp;J/cm{sup 2} were irradiated, at a constant fluence of F{sub L}thinsp=thinsp1.8thinsp{times}thinspF{sub exit/th}, by different numbers of laser pulses, Nthinsp=thinsp110 to 520. Micrograph observations show that (i) the produced cracks have a semielliptical shape and (ii) the material strength predictions based on the {ital radial crack depth} (normal to the surface) instead of the {ital crack surface length} (parallel to the surface) are in good agreement with measured strengths obtained usingmore »« less

Observation of laser ablation of silicon as a function of pulse length at constant fluence via time-resolved x-ray spectroscopy

Journal Article Joshi, T. R. ; Bailly-Grandvaux, M. ; Turner, R. E. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We investigate the ablation of silicon as a function of laser pulse length at a constant fluence using time-resolved x-ray spectroscopy data obtained from OMEGA EP experiments at the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics. Our targets consisted of three-layer planar structures composed of Si (50 μm), Cu (25 μm), and SiO₂ (500 μm) layers. The Si layer was irradiated by a 351-nm laser with varying pulse widths of 250 ps, 500 ps, 1 ns, and 10 ns while maintaining a constant fluence of ~27.9 kJ/cm². Electron temperatures and densities of the ablated plasma were determined by analyzing themore »« less

Laser conditioning study of KDP on the optical sciences laser using large area beams

Conference Runkel, M ; DeYoreo, J ; Sell, W ; ...

Considerable attention has been paid over the years to the problem of growing high purity KDP and KD*P to meet threshold requirements on succeeding generations of inertial confinement fusion lasers at LLNL. While damage thresholds for these materials have increased over time, the current National Ignition Facility (NIF) maximum fluence requirement (redline) for KD*P frequency triplers of 14.3 J/cm{sup 2} at 351 nm, 3 ns has not been reached without laser (pre)conditioning. It is reasonable to assume that, despite the rapid increase in damage thresholds for rapidly grown crystals, -a program of large scale conditioning of the 192 NIF triplersmore »« less
