Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of pulsed laser induced damage to thin films is conducted within the context of the impurity-dominated damage model in which the thin film component of the model is emphasized. In this case, a cylindrical impurity is embedded in a single thin film layer between a free surface and a substrate. The effect of the substrate is studied by varying its thermal properties with respect to those of the thin film. The nonuniform distribution of radiation in the film is incorporated into the model by assuming that the absorption is proportional to the standing wave intensity pattern of the field. These results are compared to the results found in previous studies of impurities embedded in infinite mediums.

Download or read book Laser Induced Damage in Optical Materials written by Detlev Ristau and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dedicated to users and developers of high-powered systems, Laser-Induced Damage in Optical Materials focuses on the research field of laser-induced damage and explores the significant and steady growth of applications for high-power lasers in the academic, industrial, and military arenas. Written by renowned experts in the field, this book concentrates on the major topics of laser-induced damage in optical materials and most specifically addresses research in laser damage that occurs in the bulk and on the surface or the coating of optical components. It considers key issues in the field of high-power laser coatings, factoring in the effects of contamination and providing insight into typical application areas. Become Familiar with the Key Areas of Modern Photonics The text first provides a basic understanding of theoretical and experimental methods and then summarizes the current progress, strategies, and improvements occurring within the field of laser-induced damage. Divided into four sections, this book outlines apparent trends in modeling, and discusses measurement and evaluation techniques for laser damage thresholds in the context of international standardization and scaling laws for damage thresholds. This seminal work: Covers the major aspects of laser damage Considers all important aspects in industry and research Reviews laser damage effects in material and surfaces Contains chapters contributed by leading scientists in the field Laser-Induced Damage in Optical Materials details a variety of fundamental investigations in laser-induced damage mechanisms and functions as a valuable reference for researchers and producers of laser components, laser and photonics engineers and scientists, as well as users of laser technology and thin film optics.

Download or read book Ultrashort Pulse Laser Technology written by Stefan Nolte and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrashort laser pulses with durations in the femtosecond range up to a few picoseconds provide a unique method for precise materials processing or medical applications. Paired with the recent developments in ultrashort pulse lasers, this technology is finding its way into various application fields. The book gives a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of ultrashort pulse lasers, especially applied to medicine and production technology. Recent advances in laser technology are discussed in detail. This covers the development of reliable and cheap low power laser sources as well as high average power ultrashort pulse lasers for large scale manufacturing. The fundamentals of laser-matter-interaction as well as processing strategies and the required system technology are discussed for these laser sources with respect to precise materials processing. Finally, different applications within medicine, measurement technology or materials processing are highlighted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular beam deposition techniques have been used to generate dense optical thin films and film structures for studies which allow the assessment of the onset of laser damage effects, and which explore the control of microstructure. In the first study, ZnS films have been examined on germanium substrates by electron microscopy and the evidence available suggests that damage is initiated by laser beam interactions at dislocation loop clusters in the Ge surface. In the second study the feasibility of using stratified films to control microstructure has been assessed. Damage thresholds in (ZnS/ZnSe)n are equivalent to those of uncoated substrates despite the incorporation of 100 or so separate interfaces. A wide range of coatings can be synthesized utilising such structures, which offer the potential of enhanced damage thresholds and broadband optical properties.

Download or read book Thin Film Contamination Effects on Laser induced Damage of Fused Silica Surfaces at 355 Nm written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fused silica windows were artificially contaminated to estimate the resistance of target chamber debris shields against laser damage during NIF operation. Uniform contamination thin films (1 to 5 nm thick) were prepared by sputtering various materials (Au, Al, Cu, and B4C). The loss of transmission of the samples was first measured. They were then tested at 355 nm in air with an 8-ns Nd:YAG laser. The damage morphologies were characterized by Nomarski optical microscopy and SEM. Both theory and experiments showed that metal contamination for films as thin as 1 nm leads to a substantial loss of transmission. The laser damage resistance dropped very uniformly across the entire surface (e.g. 6 J/cm2 for 5 nm of Cu). The damage morphology characterization showed that contrary to clean silica, metal coated samples did not produce pits on the surface. B4C coated silica, on the other hand, led to a higher density of such damage pits. A model for light absorption in the thin film was coupled with a simple heat deposition and diffusion model to perform preliminary theoretical estimates of damage thresholds. The estimates of the loss due to light absorption and reflection pointed out significant .differences between metals (e.g. Al and Au). The damage threshold predictions were in qualitative agreement with experimental measurements.
