Laser induced damage threshold was observed and compared to previous reports in sapphire, quartz and Nd:YAG crystals. By use of sub-ns passively Q-switched Nd:YAG/Cr:YAG laser emitting at 1064 nm wavelength, laser induced damage threshold was measured in bulk and bonded crystals. With the help of automated measurement setup, sample evaluation speed was improved.
