Scientific paper

Photothermal common-path interferometry has been used to measure optical absorption at 1064 nm and at 514 nm in high purity sapphire crystals. In as-grown and hydrogen-annealed material, uniform optical absorptions of 40-50 ppm/cm were found throughout. In a sample that had been oxygen-annealed after polishing, spatial variations in absorption and scattering/fluorescence revealed a -4 mm thick `skin' of lossy material surrounding a core having lower losses typical of as-grown material. A `valley' with optical absorption about 2-4 times lower than as-grown material (at both 1064 nm and 514 nm) was found at the interface between the oxidized surface layer and the core. The mechanism by which the `valley' formed is not known, but it does suggest that a better understanding of the oxidation process may lead to a reduction in the optical absorption of sapphire crystals. .
