Abstract

Repetition rate-dependent absorbance measurements of synthetic fused silica at 193-nm irradiation are performed in the range of 50-1 000 Hz with an ArF laser calorimeter. The "apparent" single- and twophoton absorption coefficients are determined by measuring the laser fluence-dependent absorbance of fused silica samples with different thicknesses to separate the surface absorption and bulk absorption. The measurement results indicate a reversible nonlinear increase of both apparent single- and two-photon absorption coefficients with increasing repetition rate for the synthetic fused silica, whereas the surface absorption shows no dependence on the repetition rate.
