Abstract

This talk will address the history of laser damage testing and how early measurement techniques have given way to current best practices and the development of those best practices across multiple wavelength ranges. The talk will discuss current methodologies, which have been driven by the development of the laser marketplace and the need for manufacturers and end users to qualify and assure components will meet the laser damage needs at the system level. The talk will conclude with novel measurement techniques and the direction of future work supporting the growth of laser technologies.
