We investigate the evolution of the fluorescence signal as function of repeated nanosecond
laser pulses up to laser-induced damage in fused silica at 266 nm. We observed a maximum …

Although no optically visible damage is produced in the fused silica under laser irradiation
below its laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), defect proliferation may occur due to the …

Ultra-high purity Corning 7980 and Corning 7979 silica glasses, respectively with high and
low contents of hydroxyl and hydrogen, were specifically selected to investigate the effects of …

In this study, we present a non-destructive experimental platform employing total internal
reflection digital holographic microscopy to precisely assess the degradation of optics used …

Some historical minai and colorful luster glaze ceramic samples were investigated by means
of ionoluminescence technique. The complementary ion beam analysis techniques RBS …

In this contribution, we report on the influence of nitrogen-hydrogen plasma treatment on the
chemical composition of fused silica surfaces with and without additional argon fluoride …
