IR Window Studies

Abstract

Research concerned with several aspects of the infrared laser window problem is described. Measurements of the Hall effect and electrical conductivity were used to study defects in ZnSe and it was found that a defect model governed by ionic defects can be developed. Pulsed laser damage studies revealed that there are still significant sample to sample variations even in today's so-called improved materials.
