Surface damage and color centers generated by femtosecond pulses in borosilicate glass and silica
(2004)
Color center generation by femtosecond laser pulses (30 fs) is observed in a fluence range below the damage threshold in an alkali-free barium borosilicate (BBS) glass, and in a thin layer of SiO2 on a fused silica substrate. The color centers are characterized spectroscopically. The optical density of the color centers in BBS glass is by two orders of magnitude higher than that in silica. A healing process with a time constant of about 30 h can be found.
The laser ablation behaviour of ion-doped glass filter materials under irradiation with femtosecond laser pulses was investigated with respect to spot size and repetition rate. The damage threshold fluence of Schott BG18 depends on the size of the irradiated area. The effect is discussed in terms of a defect-site model.
Femtosecond laser pulses are close to industrial use. The advantages of ultrashort laser pulses for micromachining applications especially in the case of dielectric and biological samples down to pulse durations of 5 fs have been established. The current international standards of laser safety are primarily concerned with CW and pulsed lasers down to the nanosecond range. Therefore, human tissue and laser-protection equipment was investigated with respect to its resistance and protection performance for femtosecond laser illumination down to 30 fs. This included filter glasses for laser protection eyewear, polymer and textile materials used in curtains and guards. Bulk absorber filters can provide enough protection against laser radiation, give a sufficiently broad absorption spectrum. Materials are damaged more easily by femtosecond laser radiation. The need for sufficient spectral broadness as well as the different damage thresholds have to be included in international laser safety standards. This work should trigger the development of novel eye-protection devices that are lighter and ergonomically more acceptable than present commercial models.
