Laser Induced Damage In Optical Materials 1983 PDF Download

Excerpt from Laser Induced Damage in Optical Materials, 1983: Proceedings of a Symposium, November 14-16, 1983 The principal topics to be considered as contributed papers in 198 do not differ drastically from those enumerated above. We expect to hear more about improved scaling relations as a function of pulse duration, area, and wavelength, and to see a continuing transfer of information from research activities to industrial practice. New sources at shorter wavelengths continue to be developed, and a corresponding shift in emphasis to short wavelength and repetitively pulsed damage problems is anticipated. Fabrication and test procedures will continue to be developed, particularly in the diamond-turned optics and thin-film areas. Comprehensive modeling studies are, as well, anticipated. The purpose of these symposia is to exchange information about optical materials for high power lasers. The editors will welcome comment and criticism from all interested readers relevant to this purpose, and particularly relative to our plans for the Sixteenth Annual Symposium.
