Dielectric-breakdown threshold and nonlinear-refractive-index measurements with picosecond laser pulses

W. L. Smith , J. H. Bechtel , N. Bloembergen

Single pulses from a well-calibrated mode-locked YAG:Nd laser have been used to study the dielectric-breakdown properties of 14 transparent solids. Results are presented for the...

1975 Physical review. B, Solid state 142 citations

Nonlinear Refractive Index Of Glasses And Crystals

William J. Weber , D. Milam , W. L. Smith

The propagation of intense optical beams through dielectric media induces changes in the refractive index which cause self-focusing and beam breakup in high-power laser systems....
