Unveiling sub-bandgap energy-level structures on machined optical surfaces based on weak photo-luminescence
Sub-bandgap defect energy levels (SDELs) introduced by the point defects located in
surface defect areas are considered the main factors in decreasing laser-induced damage …

Particle damage sources for fused silica optics and their mitigation on high energy laser systems
J Bude, CW Carr, PE Miller, T Parham, P Whitman… - Optics …, 2017 - opg.optica.org
High energy laser systems are ultimately limited by laser-induced damage to their critical
components. This is especially true of damage to critical fused silica optics, which grows …
