Abstract
We made a physical model for investigation of laser-induced breakdown of glass. To estimate the laser energy absorption through electron heating, we derive a power transfer rate equation and an electron number density equation for a steady state as a function of temperature and electric field. Numerical simulations using the derived equations show that the laser power absorption dependence of glass on temperature and electric field strength.
