Abstract

In this study, we use a time-resolved pump-probe shadowgraph technique to investigate the evolution characteristics of filamentary damage in bulk fused silica induced by a nanosecond pulse at 532 nm. The pump laser focuses on the front surface of sample and filamentary damage appears independently in the middle of sample. The whole damage process can be divided into single filament (SF), double filaments (DFs), and long filament (LF) successively. At the same time, the improved moving focus model is proposed by taking into account the temporal shape of the laser pulse and the laser is blocked and reflected by plasma at the critical density. It is in good agreement with the experimental result of filamentary damage process and helps to explore the mechanism of laser-induced filamentary damage in nanosecond regime.
