Abstract
The irreversible bleaching of F2⁻ color centers (CC) in a LiF crystal under influence of powerful IR radiation with wavelength 1.06 μm has been observed earlier [1]. It has been shown that F2⁻ CC bleaching is due to two-photon absorption from the excited state and results in the formation of a stable dichroic spatial band in the crystal. It has been shown [2-4] that F2⁻ CC irreversible bleaching is the reason of both spectral and polarisation "collapses" in Nd lasers with LiF:F2⁻ crystals as passive Q-switches.
