摘要
We present the development of a laser damage and ablation test-bench able to accommodate ultrashort pulses down to 10 fs pulse duration. The laser test-bench is operated in air and we demonstrate its capability to accurately measure the damage and ablation characteristics of optical materials, like fused silica, irradiated by single ultrashort pulses of < 15 fs pulse duration. The careful characterization of beam propagation allows us to ascertain the precise retrieval of laser-induced damage and ablation threshold fluences as well as to identify the energetic regime yielding to beam filamentation.
