Abstract
In this work we compared the laser damage threshold of ZGP, CSP, GaAs, GaP, OP-GaAs, and OP-GaP under identical conditions. ZGP, CSP, GaAs, and GaP samples measuring 4x5x12 mm3 were fabricated from bulk, melt-grown single crystals. Orientation-patterned GaAs and GaP grown by HVPE on MBE templates were fabricated with dimensions of 2x6x12 mm3. All samples were ground and double-side polished together on the same polishing fixture.to achieve identical surface finish, then demounting, cleaned, and anti-reflection coated together (AR @ 2 and 3-5 microns) followed by laser damage testing with typical 2-micron laser parameters of 25 kHz, 75 ns, 30-micron spot.
