Spatial pattern of microchannel formation in fused silica irradiated by nanosecond ultraviolet pulses

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present numerical simulations of propagation of ultraviolet pulses through fused silica using a model that allows for the accumulative action of compaction back on the light. Compaction-induced self-focusing causes the light field to develop into a pattern of hot spots around the incident aperture that correlates with the damage patterns observed during marathon experiments designed to determine the onset of microchannel formation.
