Abstract
This paper reports results on the effect of Sr impurity on damage of crystalline potassium chloride under exposure to laser irradiation. The experimental data are accounted for using the photochemical model of laser damaging. We assume that the light scattering impurity centers are in the form of large aggregates of impurity/vacancy dipoles. The state of the impurity was monitored using light scattering. Under laser irradiation, photochemical reactions occur in the impurity centers, and the accumulating products of these reactions damage the crystals. We have found a correlation between the concentration of the impurity in the equilibrium impurity aggregates and the concentration of the damage initiating centers. We show that laser irradiation produces anion vacancies in impurity agglomeration areas and causes accumulation of F centers followed by the formation of colloidal quasimetallic particles on which specimen breakdown occurs. EPR spectroscopy revealed colloidal particles having quasimetallic properties.
