Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on enhancing the damage resistance of hollow optical waveguides for transmitting Q-switched Nd:YAG laser pulses through optimized metallization processes.
- By drying silver films at moderate temperatures with inert gas flow, the durability against high-peak-power laser radiation is significantly improved, allowing for transmission of over 20 MW peak power.
- For aluminum-coated fibers targeting the fourth and fifth harmonics of Nd:YAG lasers, adding a thin silver film under the aluminum layer enhances adhesion and raises the power threshold to 3 MW for the fourth harmonic.
