Abstract
The femtosecond laser-induced damage characteristics of a novel oxyfluorogallate glass with good mid-infrared property are analyzed in detail and the surface-damage thresholds for single- and multi- pulses ablation are determined and an evident reduction trend is obtained. The nonlinear absorption coefficient measured through the femtosecond laser z-scan method is used to explain the damage mechanism according to the calculation of Keldysh parameter. The ablation characteristics of the oxyfluorogallate glass demonstrated a clear evidence of melting and the ablation rate decreased in the presence of the melting phenomenon. Based on subsequent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy analyses, the chemistry of the mid-infrared oxyfluorogallate glass appeared to remain constant before and after femtosecond laser ablation. This work provides a reference to manufacture infrared optical devices and is useful in promoting the application of the mid-infrared glass material.
