Optical modified lateral shearing interferometer for on-line damage morphology measurement Jie Li, R. Ba, X. Zhou, Y. Zheng, L. Ding, B. Chen, J. Yuan
China Academy of Engineering Physics, China
Laser-induced damage resistence of optical components is one of the critical factor in high power laser systems.
16:00 16:15 PLD10-2 The distribution, specifies, and absorption of precursors responsible for bulk damage initiation in doubler KDP crystals at different wavelengths Yinbo Zheng, R. Ba, J. Li, X. Zhou, L. Ding, J. Yuan, H. Xu, J. Na, Y. Li, B. Chen
China Academy of Engineering Physics, China
This work presents the characteristics of precursors responsible for bulk damage initiation in type I doubler KDP crystals under different exposure wavelengths and fluences combinations.
16:15 16:30 PLD10-3 Shape dependence of downstream light intensification caused by flaws Zhaoyang Jiao, M. Sun, L. Ren, Y. Guo, R. Wu, Y. Zhang, J. Zhu
Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, China
In high power laser system, the upstream flaw could induce light intensification in the downstream, thus damaging the optical component.
16:30 16:45 PLD10-4 Mixture modulation to incident laser by surface defect and contaminant on fused silica H. Wang, Z. Chen, Huapan Xiao, J. Wang, N. Yu
Xi’an Jiaotong Univ., China
It is inevitable that surface defect and contaminations would be generated during the grinding and polishing processes of optical components.
