Paper Abstract
The use of large Ti:Sapphire crystals in ultra fast high peak power laser amplifiers makes crucial the problem of
crystal laser induced damage. These works aim to quantify the laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of Sapphire and
Ti:Sapphire crystals under femtosecond, picosecond and nanosecond laser pulse irradiations, which are typically
encountered in such laser chains. Furthermore, a study of the influence of cryogenic conditions on the LIDT of
Ti:Sapphire crystals and of their anti-reflection coating has been performed. The results are important to understand the
mechanisms leading to the damage, and to reveal the key parameters which will have to be optimized in future high peak
power laser chains.
