Abstract

The effect of the crystal structure defects of different origin (dislocations, stresses, impurities, liquid phase inclusions) on the bulk laser damage threshold in big-size KDP crystals has been studied in the present paper. The quantitative dependence of the bulk laser damage threshold value on the internal stresses, density of dislocations and impurity concentration in crystals has been found.
