Low-speed gas knife protection for the large aperture optical component in high-power laser systems

In high-power laser systems, fused silica aerosols produced by laser-induced damage to optical components impede further improvement in operation efficiency. To mitigate aerosol threats, low-speed gas knives are an attractive online option. Herein, we investigate the protective mechanism of a low-sp...
