Abstract

Microscopic investigations of UV-induced formation of laser damage on LiB3O5 optical surfaces during long-term sum-frequency generation (SFG) uncovers a significant growth of a SiO2-amorphous layer spatially limited to the illuminated area. The layer gives rise to a catastrophic break-down of the LiB3O5-output surface upon long-term laser operation even at intensities far below the laser-induced damage threshold. The interaction of UV laser light, LiB3O5 surface and foreign atoms in the ambient atmosphere is discussed in the frame of a two-step process for surface-damage formation.

Surface profiles of the LBO sample determined by LCM as a function of SFG-exposure exemplarily at the beginning (t = 0h) and after 24, 48, 120, and 240 hours. The data points were determined along the scan line shown in the inserted spot image. The horizontal dotted lines indicate the mean-surface roughness of the LBO crystal.

Height profile of a cracked surface area related to the LCM-image shown in the insert. Such surface cracks predominantly occur at SFG-exposure≫500 h, or at high SFG-efficiencies, i. e., at high intensities of the ultraviolet laser beam.

Table 1. Results of an ESC analysis for one area covering the regime of surface elevation (exposed) as well as an unaffected (unexposed) area of the LBO surface. The energetic positions of the determined peaks are referenced to the hydrocarbon-contaminant C (1s) line, assuming a value of 285.0 eV [7]. The values reflect the fraction of the particular element related to the total ESCA-signal (relative error ≈ 10%). An increase of the peak at 103.9 eV by a factor of five is found in the exposed area.
