Expedited laser damage profiling of ${\mathrm{KD}}_x{\mathrm{H}}_{2-x}\mathrm{P}{\mathrm{O}}_4$ with respect to crystal growth parameters

Abstract

We investigate the laser-induced damage resistance at $355\mathrm{nm}$ in deuterated potassium dihydrogen phosphate (DKDP) crystals grown with varying growth parameters, including speed of growth and temperature. The aim is to explore a new expedited method to study the growth parameters affecting the laser-induced damage resistance in DKDP material to obtain crystals with enhanced performance.
