摘要
The influence of the wavelength on the morphology of nanosecond laser-induced damage on the exit surface of fused silica is investigated. A combination between the typical features of damage sites initiated at 1064 nm and 355 mu is observed at 532 nm, including ring patterns sporadically exhibited, in good agreement with calculations of the development of an electron avalanche at this wavelength. The associated ring appearance speed scales as the cube root of the laser intensity, and is similar to 10.5 km/s while it is similar to 20 km/s when initiated by infrared pulses. The whole set of results sheds light on the different wavelength-dependent mechanisms governing damage formation.
