Optical quality high-strength glass laser slabs

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The power output potential for high-average-power laser slabs has been increased substantially using three techniques1: (1) improving the composition of the base glass for superior thermomechanical properties; (2) treatment of the surface of the laser slabs to decrease the depth of the flaws originating from optical fabrication; and (3) reducing the liability from the remaining flaws by placing them in a compressive stress.
