High Power, High LIDT Laser Optics - Understanding Optics for-High Power Lasers
Author: Mike Wilde, Rona Belford
Monday, July 3, 2017
Catalog optics are fine for many laser applications but high power lasers require specified damage optical characteristics. The whitepaper explores power resilience of laser optics, working with test laboratories, ISO testing, measuring LIDT, LIDT and pulse duration, laser damage causes and best practices to achieve high LIDT coatings, designing new coatings and maintaining standards. Understanding and controlling LIDT is fundamental to ensuring the optimization of high power laser systems.
