I. Core Summary To determine whether a laser crystal is damaged, it is mainly judged comprehensively through four dimensions: visual physical inspection (cracks, coating peeling), output power monitoring (sudden energy drop), beam quality analysis (spot distortion), and thermal effect detection (abnormal heating).If pitting/scratches appear on the crystal surface, or the power attenuation exceeds 30% and cannot be restored through optical path calibration, it is usually judged as damaged. II. Intuitive Judgment at the Visual Physical Level This is the most basic and most direct troubleshooting method, mainly by observing the surface condition of the crystal with the naked eye or simple tools. …
