Laser induced lattice strains, damage thresholds and related properties

The interaction of a high power laser beam with the lattice of transparent optical materials induces internal strains in the latter. Attention is focused on optical materials of zinc blende structure and excitation at the 10.6-(mu)m wavelength of the laser. A lattice dynamical treatment is presented...
