Anisotropic Structures

White-light continuum can be induced by the interaction of intense femtosecond laser pulses with condensed materials. By using two orthogonal polarizers, a self-induced birefringence of continuum is observed when focusing femtosecond laser pulses into bulk fused silica. That is, the generated white-light continuum is synchronously modulated anisotropically while propagating in fused silica. Time-resolved detection confirms that self-induced birefringence of continuum shows a growth and saturation feature with time evolution. By adjusting laser energy, the transmitted intensity of continuum modulated by self-induced birefringence also varies correspondingly. Morphology analysis with time evolution indicates that it is the focused femtosecond laser pulses that induce anisotropic microstructures in bulk fused silica, and the anisotropic structures at the same time modulate the generated continuum.

Laser Induced Damage

Material changes and Sub-Surface Damage (SSD) under Laser Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) testing sites were investigated on 3 diverse single layer coated transparent fused silica samples to obtain additional information on damage precursors on these samples. As a detection method, photothermal deflection technique utilizing a resonant UV laser beam was used. The local variations in UV absorption and probe beam transmittance due to previous exposure to high fluence laser pulses were strongly dependent on the coating itself and on the laser energy used during the LIDT testing. Also the obtained LIDT values differ from coating to coating. Detected effects on the coatings and substrate surface beneath ranged from small surface dislocations to complete coating damage with material transformations. Additional absorbing damage precursors were found close to the damaged sites.

Underlying Basis

Laser-induced-surface-flaw experiments on fused silica at 351 nm and 500 ps pulse duration are reported here. Specimens with surface flaws produced at a measured exit-surface damage threshold fluence of Fexit/th = 10 J/cm2 were irradiated at a constant fluence of FL = 1.8 × Fexit/th by different numbers of laser pulses, N = 110 to 520. Micrograph observations show that (i) the produced cracks have a semielliptical shape and (ii) the material strength predictions based on the radial crack depth (normal to the surface) instead of the crack surface length (parallel to the surface) are in good agreement with measured strengths obtained using a four-point bending fixture. The underlying basis of conventional crack analysis is first examined critically and is argued to be deficient in the way the failure strength for the cracks is related to the characteristic parameters of crack geometry. In general, it is necessary to incorporate a residual term into the failure strength formulation. The crack depth and the failure strength are found to increase and decrease with the number of laser pulses, respectively.
