Abstract
Laser induced irreversible changes in the absorption of alkali halides has been observed by using repetitively pulsed laser calorimetry. These changes occur at intensities below that required for laser induced breakdown and necessitate a change in the definition of laser damage threshold. A simple model is proposed to explain these observations based on the accumulation of microscopic failures as a result of each pulse.
