摘要
We investigate the relation of ion-exchange treatment and laser conditioning of a glass surface. The surface of Nd-doped phosphate laser glass was preirradiated with a cw CO2 laser and strengthened by the ion-exchange treatment. It is shown that residual compressive stress occurs on the surface as peak-to-valley roughness and the appearance of microcracks decreases. Damage threshold of the glass surface increases by a factor of 1.7-3. The mechanism of laser conditioning is consistent with that of the ion-exchange treatment. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
