Abstract

A system for accurate determination of breakdown thresholds is described. Automatic recording of individual laser pulse energies allows statistical analysis of the outcomes of many laser pulses and a consequent determination of relative threshold pulse energies with better than 1% accuracy, in spite of much larger variations in laser energy from pulse to pulse. Other statistical information such as the probability of breakdown as a function of pulse energy and pulse-to-pulse correlations can be measured with comparable accuracy.
