Abstract
A model describing far-field scattered power and irradiance by a silica glass slab with a shallow-pitted exit surface is experimentally validated. The comparison to the model is performed using a precisely micromachined ensemble of wide laser ablated shallow pits producing 1% of the incident beam scatter in a 10 mrad angle. A series of samples with damage initiations and laser-induced shallow pits resulting from 351 nm, 5 ns pulsed laser cleaning of metal microparticles at different fluences between and are characterized as well and found in good agreement with model predictions.
