Abstract
After more than 15 years of study, bulk laser- induced damage (LID) is still not well understood. A major obstacle to developing models for such damage in highly transparent materials is the lack of a consistent data base for the dependence of LID on such basic parameters as laser wavelength and pulse width. The problems of sample-to-sampie variations and the complex interdependence of the damage thresholds on laser frequency, pulse width, and focal conditions1 make the interpretation of isolated data points difficult.
