![FIGURE 1. Mechanisms for laser-induced damage differ significantly across pulse duration timescales. Longer pulses, including those with nanosecond durations, cause damage primarily through thermal effects. As pulse durations shrink to femtosecond timescales, carrier absorption and nonlinear effects become the dominant mechanisms.[2]](https://img.laserfocusworld.com/files/base/ebm/lfw/image/2024/07/66aa8a8410ae71b5de963fc2-2409lfw_whe_1.png?auto=format&fit=fill&fill=solid&w=650&h=361&cache=0.3724397198039917)
