Measurement of the optical damage threshold in fused quartz.

چکیده
The damage thresholds of five different types of quartz glass used for the production of spectroscopic cuvettes for liquids were determined with single temporal and spatial mode nanosecond pulses at 532 nm. One of the glasses had a damage threshold of ≃420 J/cm(2), which was more than twice that of the other glasses.

Measurements of radiation characteristics of fused quartz containing bubbles.
We report experimental measurement of radiation characteristics of fused quartz containing bubbles over the spectral region from 1.67 to 3.5 microm. The radiation characteristics were retrieved by an inverse method that minimizes the quadratic difference between the measured and the calculated spectral bidirectional transmittance and reflectance for different sample thicknesses. The theoretical...
متن کاملShock temperature measurements in Mg2SiO4 and SiO2 at high pressures
Temperatures in the high pressure shock state have been determined by measurement of optical radiation from pure samples of forsteritc (Mg2 SiOn), a-quartz, and fused silica. Shock waves of known amplitude were produced by tantalum flyer impact using a two-stage light gas gun. Shock pressures in the ranges 150-175 GPa and 70-115 GPa for Mg: SiOn and SiO2 respectively were achieved, and temperat...
متن کاملThe McMath Solar Telescope of Kitt Peak National Observatory
The mechanical and optical arrangement of the 160-cm aperture, 90-m focal length, McMath Solar Telescope is described. Efforts have been made to obtain good images by thermal control of the optical paths and by selection of fused quartz or metal-based mirrors for the optical components. The optical paths and performances of a vacuum double-pass spectrometer and single-pass spectrograph are illu...
متن کاملNumerical aperture dependence of damage and supercontinuum generation from femtosecond laser pulses in bulk fused silica
Competing nonlinear optical effects are involved in the interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with transparent dielectrics: supercontinuum generation and multiphoton-induced bulk damage. We measured the threshold energy for supercontinuum generation and bulk damage in fused silica using numerical apertures (NAs) ranging from 0.01 to 0.65. The threshold for supercontinuum generation exhibits a...
متن کاملRadiation Damage of Quartz Fibers
Quartz fibers are used in high energy physics experiments as the active medium in high radiation area calorimetry. Quartz fibers are also used in the transmission of optical signals. Even though quartz does not damage by moderate amounts of irradiation, the clad of the fibers and the protective coating (buffer) do damage reducing light transmission. Various types of quartz fibers have been irra...
