Laser-Induced Damage Threshold of dark yellow phase BaGa4Se7 Crystal at 1053 nm

Laser induced damage in dark yellow phase of BaGa
₄
Se
₇
(BGSe) crystal has been investigated at the wavelengths of 1053 nm. Damage by multiple pulse irradiation (500 pulses) has been studied and the probabilistic behavior of the damage is discussed.
