Abstract
With prolonged intense exposure of an optical beam on the ZnTe crystal, the problem of crystal photodamage becomes increasingly relevant. In reducing the risk of damage, practically this has meant a decrease in applied optical power density. The heating effects with a reduced power density are investigated.
