Abstract

âº Laser-induced damage thresholds of fused silica vs. mechanical stress were determined. âº A laser wavelength of 1064Â nm and a pulse width of 12Â ns were used. âº A bulk LIDT value of about 700Â J/cm2 was found. âº The damage threshold was independent on mechanical stress up to 220Â N/mm2 âº No influence of the polarization state on the LIDT was observed.
