Abstract

Performance of polycrystalline CVD diamond window and mirror (25 mm diameter, 1,3 mm thickness) with 1970 W/mK thermal conductivity under irradiation of continuous wave 10 kW ytterbium fiber laser (1,07 μm) has been tested. The window withstood 11,7 МW/cm2 power density without any disturbance of the beam quality, while the dielectric 25 layer diamond−based mirror was damaged at 8,2 МW/cm2. Experimental and numerical modeling has shown that proper mounting in a water−cooled copper flange allows keeping the maximum temperature in the window at below 100 °C for incident laser power of as high as 35 kW. Because of the unique properties of this material, diamond optics is promising for high power laser applications.
