Enhancing Laser Damage Resistance of Co<sup>2+</sup>:MgAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Crystal by Plasma Etching

Co<sup>2+</sup>:MgAl<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> crystals are successfully used as passive Q-switches within the cavity of erbium glass lasers. Their limited resistance to laser radiation might also put constraints on the generated output peak power. Usually, polishi...
