Abstract

An experimental setup for studying optical materials under the action of plasma-emitted intense (up to 105 W/cm2) ultraviolet and vacuum ultraviolet radiation is described, and methods for estimating the radiation damage are developed. The damage produced in calcium fluoride ionic crystals at ∼300 K by low (103 rad) and moderate (106 rad) absorbed doses is experimentally estimated.
