Laser damage problems?
We can help. Alan Streater has studied and worked for several years on improving Laser damage thresholds of dielectric film coatings.
Papers on laser damge
Below are papers on Laser damage that Alan Streater has co-authored. We can't post them directly for reasons of copyright, but we can send a copy upon request. (Click on the "contacts" page.)
- "A laser preconditioning process for improving the laser damage threshold, and the search for subtle laser damage from long-duration laser exposure for IBS thin films," (2008).
- "A year of automated LDT testing on ion beam sputtered thin film optics and laser conditioning of IBS films," (2007).
