1.06 Micron Laser Damage of Thin Film Optical Coatings — a Round Robin Experiment Involving Various Pulse Lengths and Beam Diameters

Source

A number of commercially available optical coatings, both antireflective and high reflective, have been tested for their laser induced damage threshold, involving a total of eight (8) different laboratories. The results obtained and the experimental methods used at these laboratories were discussed among the participants in this round robin at a minisymposium held at Balzers, Liechtenstein, December 9–10, 1982. A final report of the round robin and a summary of the conclusions drawn at that symposium are presented.
