Laser-induced damage measurements in CdTe and other II–VI materials

Abstract

Results of laser-induced damage measurements in CdTe and other selected II–VI materials are reported. These studies were conducted using pulsed 1.06-μm radiation from a Nd:YAG laser. The laser pulse width was varied from ~40 to 9000 psec (9 nsec). The laser-induced surface breakdown irradiance measured for CdTe over this pulse width range scaled as tp-1/2 [tp is the laser pulse width (FWHM)]. This indicates that laser-induced damage in this material is due to linear absorption by a thin surface contamination layer.
