Abstract
Pulsed laser-induced surface damage experiments were made on the cleav ed (001) face of (-)2-(alpha-methylbenzylamino)-5-nitropyridine crysta ls at a pulse length of 25 ns FWHM. The highest single-pulse damage th reshold value was 24.2 J/cm(2) at 1064-nm wavelength for light polariz ed along the crystallographic a axis, whereas the lowest was 1.8 J/cm( 2) at 532 nm for light polarized along the crystallographic b axis.
