Lasers become more and more powerful and compact. This raises laser induced damage issues in optical components, especially in nonlinear crystals. This thesis deals with nanosecond laser damage investigations in nonlinear crystals used for frequency conversion (KTP, KDP LBO) and electro-optic applications (RTP, KDP). First, due to nonlinear and anisotropic effects of the crystals, the development of a metrology dedicated to laser damage studies of crystals was necessary. This metrology was then applied to the study of KTP and RTP isomorphous crystals, and LBO crystals. The influence of many parameters on the laser damage resistance, such as wavelength, polarization and crystal orientation, was studied allowing a better understanding of the ...
