We present a detailed study of the morphology of laser-induced bulk damage in K2H(2−x)DxPO4 crystals. We see three distinct regions of the internal damage sites: a rubble filled core, a shell that has probably been melted and compacted, and a larger outer region of slightly modified shocked material. The nature of these regions is important for understanding the impact of laser-induced damage on light scattering, which can be significant for high-power laser operation. We propose a simple model to explain the morphology and light scattering we observe.We present a detailed study of the morphology of laser-induced bulk damage in K2H(2−x)DxPO4 crystals.
