Abstract:

Impact of pulsed laser radiation on dielectrics with macroscopic cracks has been studied. Mechanisms of the crack influence on the dielectric optical and mechanical strength are determined. The dependence of the optical strength on the crack lifetime is discussed. It is shown that the effect of radiation of pre-threshold intensity on the sample with cracks can improve its mechanical and optical strength.
