Influence of ion exchange treatment on laser-induced damage of glass surface

摘要

This work is devoted to the investigation of questions that can be useful for development of standard for the determination of laser induced damage threshold. It is shown that low- temperature ions exchange is a prospective approach for improving and stabilizing of laser damage thresholds of glasses surfaces. The radiation parameters and exposure conditions which are necessary to obtain the reproducible breakdown thresholds have formulated. The powerful laser system for damage testing designed on the basis of these requirements are described.
