Laser induced damage due to scratches in the surface of nonlinear optical crystals KH2PO4 (KDP)

Abstract Background Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP, KH2PO4) crystal is an important kind of nonlinear optical crystal because of widespread use in high-intensity laser systems. A critical issue in high-intensity lasers is the laser induced damage to dielectrics since the laser fluence that opti...
