Abstract
It is shown that the metallization of a dielectric in the region of its interaction with laser radiation is a substantiated mechanism of laser damage of wide-gap dielectrics. Calculations of the radiation pressure produced by high-power laser radiation and the pressure of external bulk compression at which the dielectric energy-gap width becomes zero and which is calculated on the basis of the self-consistent statistical electron theory of ionic crystals have shown that these pressures are of the same order of magnitude.
