Nonlinear Absorption Initiated Avalanche Breakdown in Dielectric ZrO2 /

Nonlinear Absorption Initiated Avalanche Breakdown in Dielectric ZrO2 /

We report direct measurements of nonlinear transmission in dielectric ZrO2 prior to the observation of catastrophic damage for nsec laser pulses at 532 nm. The tested cubic zirconia (ZrO2) specimens are stabilized with yttria (Y2O3) having concentrations of 9.4%, 12%, 15%, 18%, and 21%. Transmission...
