摘要：

In this study, laser damage tests of multilayer dielectric gratings (MDGs) are performed in vacuum (5 x 10(-4) Pa) and in air at a wavelength of 1053 nm with pulse widths of 0.56 Ps similar to 9.7 ps. The laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of MDGs in vacuum/air ranges from 2.1/2.2 J/cm(2) to 4.4/4.8 J/cm(2) for laser beams of normal incidence. The LIDT of MDGs follows a tau(0.26) scaling in the pulse width regime considered. The typical damage morphologies in the two environments caused by the near threshold pulse were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM); the results indicate that the damage features of MDGs in vacuum are the same as those in air. The testing results reveal that a clean vacuum environment neither changes the laser damage mechanism nor lowers the LIDT of MDGs. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
