Acquisitions of damage growth sequences with the macroscope. Initial damage sites were illuminated (a) in p-polarization at a fluence of 3.23 J/cm² and (b) in s-polarization at a fluence of 3.41 J/cm². The laser beam comes from the left with an angle of incidence of 45°. The white ellipses represent contours of the initial damage sites. The black arrows represent the polarization direction.
