We are completing a thorough expansion of the laser-induced damage-test capabilities at LLNL which allow us to conduct tests under a variety of parameter conditions. We have nine different laser systems which cover the following parameter space:

We describe details of the physical configurations of the individual systems, laser and sample diagnostics, and general testing procedures and capabilities. Damage test results are presented in a companion paper at this conference — “Laser Damage Database at 1064 nm”.
