Investigation of the Process of Optical Damage of ZnGeP{sub 2} Crystals Using Digital Holography

Journal Article · · Russian Physics Journal
A method of visualization of the process of optical damage of a ZnGeP{sub 2} single crystal using digital holography is suggested. The mechanism of the ZnGeP{sub 2} single crystal damage is investigated at energy density ~0.3–0.6 J/cm{sup 2}. The temperature in the damage channel during its formation is estimated. The data obtained allow the conclusion on the thermal nature of ZnGeP{sub 2} crystal damage to be made under the action of laser radiation with a wavelength of ~2.1 μm.
