Experimental study of the influence of laser radiation power on the reflection coefficient of germanium and silicon at a wavelength of 355 nm

Abstract

Abstract The dependences of the reflection coefficients at a wavelength of λ = 355 nm for germanium and silicon single crystals on the energy density of impacting laser radiation in the range 0.01 - 0.1 J/cm2 have been measured. Analytical expressions were obtained. It is assumed, that they are also valid in the range 0.1 - 1.0 J/cm2. With a further increase in the energy density, the dependence should acquire a more complex character due to the resulting optical breakdown.
