Laser-Induced Damage of Optical Materials (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

An understanding of damage mechanisms is fundamental to good design of laser products operating at high power. Laser Induced Damage of Optical Materials presents a comprehensive overview of the damage processes that occur at high laser intensity levels and explains how these factors limit the energy handling capabilities of optical systems. It reviews basic EM theory and optical effects, describes the damage mechanisms in effect when intensity levels are raised, covers the theory underlying the laser-induced damage thresholds of optical materials, and explores surfaces and sub-surface damage, coatings, measurement techniques, and special topics, such as scaling laws, fiber optics, and photodetectors.
