Abstract
We investigated the laser-induced damage threshold of two barium chalcogenides crystals, and , at 1.053 μm radiation with a pulse duration of 7–10 ns at different pulse repetition rates, namely, 100 Hz, 500 Hz, and 1 kHz. The R-on-1 procedure was applied to determine the 0% probability damage threshold. Both crystals have close values of surface damage threshold at 0.1 kHz, () for , and () for .
