Abstract
Local alterations in UV absorption have been used to investigate subsurface damage in transparent optical materials. As a detection method, a collinear pump-probe arrangement has been utilized and absorption-induced deflections in the nonresonant probe beam has been detected. Depending on the changes in deflection and transmission signals, variations in absorption mappings could be attributed to different origins of material inhomogenities or foreign particles. Also, lightprovoked changes in absorption that can occur with non-linear optical materials have been detected by the proposed method.
