title: Expedited laser damage profiling of KDxH(2-x)PO4 with respect to crystal growth parameters.
abstract: We investigate the laser-induced damage resistance at 355 nm in deuterated potassium dihydrogen phosphate (DKDP) crystals grown with varying growth parameters, including speed of growth and temperature. The aim is to explore a new expedited method to study the growth parameters affecting the laser-induced damage resistance in DKDP material to obtain crystals with enhanced performance.
