Optical materials for high average power lasers

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The atomic vapor laser Isotope separation program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has cooperated with members of the optical fabrication industry in the development of damage-free low-absorption optical substrates and coatings for high average power visible lasers. This paper will review the details of the coating substrate and associated diagnostic developments that have led to low surface absorption (less than 5 × 10−5) mirrors, windows, and beam splitters.
