A laser-induced damage array composed of numerous pinpoints is generated in a large-aperture KDP crystal to suppress the transverse stimulated Raman scattering (TSRS). The 36 cm × 8.5 mm × 7 mm damage array is used to block the propagation of the TSRS photons within the crystal and decrease the TSRS gain length. Then several series of experiments were conducted on a large-aperture laser system to test this method and experimental results show that the amplification of TSRS is significantly suppressed by the laser-induced damage array.
