Effect of wavelength on propagation of high-power femtosecond laser pulses in diamond by T.V. Kononenko, E.V. Zavedeev, K.K. Ashikkalieva, V.I. Konov

“…The wavelength of the modeled beams is varied in a wide range (400 nm, 532 nm, 800 nm, and 1064 nm), which covers the most common ultrashort laser systems. For all the wavelengths analyzed, a limitation in the growth of laser energy density inside the diamond crystal with increasing pulse energy is found. …”
