Abstract
We investigate the unique surface fractures of CaF2 found after single shot laser irradiation using 77 femtosecond, 1030 nm laser pulses. Optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy revealed elevated rectangular structures across laser-ablated craters. The underlying mechanism for this unique morphology may be related to anisotropic thermal conductivity and laser-induced defects. Our findings provide insights into the fundamental mechanisms of laser-induced damage in CaF2 and have implications for the design and optimization of high-power laser systems.
