摘要
KDP, as a key nonlinear optical crystal, is indispensable in ICF engineering. In this work, an investigation on optical parameters and lattice structures of KDP crystals after irradiation with 355 and 1064 nm ns lasers under different energy densities was conducted by XRD and WDD models derived from UV–Vis spectra. WDD models revealed that compared with un-irradiated crystals, both lasers induced a significant decrease in various optical parameters of KDP crystals, including the effective single oscillator energy (E0), dispersion energy (Ed), zero-frequency refractive index (n0), optical moments (M-1 and M-3) and oscillator strength (f). With increasing laser energy density, these optical parameters first increase, and then decline. XRD results showed that diffraction peaks of the (200), (400), and (600) lattice planes and their splitting peaks were observed in un-irradiated KDP crystals. After irradiation with both laser at lower energy densities, the splitting peaks dramatically weakened and several new peaks emerged, in conjunction with a slight enhancement in the diffraction intensity of three main peaks. Nevertheless, under higher energy density irradiation, a distinct increment in their FWHM of main peaks was displayed, accompanied by a complete disappearance in their splitting peaks. However, no other phosphate phases were observed in XRD patterns. Most notably, 355 nm laser irradiation induced more pronounced variations in optical parameters and lattice characterizations of KDP crystals than that from 1064 nm at identical energy densities. And the underlying mechanisms were detected in detail. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
