Fused quartz is one of the most widely used optical materials. This study investigates the LIDT of quartz substrates with different thicknesses through both theoretical simulations and experimental measurements, aiming to reveal the underlying damage mechanisms. Numerical simulations were conducted to analyze the temperature field distribution of quartz substrates with thicknesses ranging from 1 to 4 mm under 1064 nm nanosecond laser irradiation. Generally, under identical conditions, a higher temperature rise corresponds to a lower LIDT. The simulation results show that as the substrate thickness increases, the LIDT decreases first, then increases, and finally decreases again. Laser-induced damage threshold experiments were subsequently performed, showing that the 1 mm thick quartz substrate exhibited the highest LIDT (30.02 J/cm<sup>2</sup>), which dropped to its minimum value (4.54 J/cm<sup>2</sup>) at 2.5 mm and then increased to 17.97 J/cm<sup>2</sup> with further thickness growth. The experimental results show a certain degree of consistency with the numerical simulations in terms of the overall variation trend, although discrepancies remain in specific thickness ranges.

The original free-wake model developed by authors is used. The study considers the range of distances from the main rotor plane to the surface in the range of 5–16 m. Four values of rotor/surface overlapping have been considered: 100, 75, 50, and 25% of rotor diameter. Hovering near an infinite ground surface was considered additionally. To simulate an infinite surface, the method of mirrored rotor’s wake is used. Limited surface is modeled by a layer of dipoles. Both approaches are validated by comparison with each other and with experimental data (for the case of an infinite surface). The main rotor wake shapes and flow structures have been obtained and analyzed. For constant rotor’s power, the curves of the thrust vs. hovering height have been constructed. Comparison with available experimental and calculated data has been performed. The authors made conclusions about the effect of a limited surface on the increase in rotor thrust with varying levels of rotor/surface overlapping area and hovering height values. In particular, the study showed that the maximum thrust gain (at the lowest possible hovering height) with the full (100%) rotor/surface overlapping is 22%.
