摘要
Bulk laser damage in CsLiB6O10 (CLBO) was measured using a single-shot Q-switched Nd:YAG laser in a transverse and longitudinal single mode. The bulk laser damage thresholds of CLBO, with laser irradiation direction parallel to[001] and polarization parallel to[100], were determined to be 29 GW/cm(2) at 1.064 mu, and 6.4 GW/cm(2) at 0.266 mu m. The value at 1.064 mu m is higher than that of fused quartz, beta-BaB2O4 (BBO) and KH2PO4 (KDP). The morphology of bulk damage in CLBO crystal was also observed. The damage pattern suggests that the [001] direction is mechanically weak, which is consistent with the result of the mechanical strength tests.
