Abstract
High energy laser facilities designed for fusion experiments, such as Laser MegaJoule or National Ignition Facility, are limited by laser-induced damage on their final optics. Accurate and early detection of damage growth is required for successful operation of such facilities. Since the image resolution is about the size of damage sites to monitor, diameter measurements are not sufficient to meet the objectives of damage growth quantification. An accurate size quantification of damage sites is based on light scattering measurements after time-consuming calibrations on the facility. An optical model is proposed to perform a simple and fast calibration of the measurements by numerical simulation. The model is based on light scattering measurements of several damage sites combined with optical simulations of the lighting system.
