An Experimental Setup for Studying the Effect of Laser Pulse Parameters on Damage to Nonmetallic Materials

摘要

An experimental setup was developed and experimental studies performed on the effect the time profile of laser pulses has on splitting-off damage to nonmetallic materials. It was shown that, for laser pulses with a steep front and a protracted trailing edge, the splitting-off damage threshold is higher than for pulses with other temporal profiles.
