Om. Efimov, VARYING THE OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND DAMAGE OF GLASSES UNDER THE ACTION OF HIGH-POWER LASER-RADIATION, Journal of optical technology, 61(11), 1994, pp. 82-826
This paper presents a review of the main results in the physics involv
ed in the interaction of high-power laser radiation with transparent i
nsulators. Processes are considered that determine the stability of th
e parameters of silicate glasses and the functional reliability of opt
ical elements made from them under the long-term action of intense las
er radiation.
