摘要
The influence of crystal defects on bulk laser damage and UV absorption in CsLiB6O10 (CLBO) crystals was investigated. A CLBO crystal grown by the solution stirring method had a 2.5-fold higher laser-induced damage threshold (maximum) than conventional CLBO crystals. This highly damage-resistant CLBO crystal had a lower dislocation density (best value, 6.6 x 10(3)/cm(2)) than conventional CLBO crystals (best value, 15.0 x 10(3)/cm(2)). The temperature increase during UV generation on the output surface of highly damage-resistant CLBzO crystal was lower than that detected in conventional CLBO crystal. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
