Abstract
Understanding the physical mechanism behind the laser-induced damage of multilayer dielectric interference coatings is essential for developing ultra-high intensity laser systems. The previous work reported high damage thresholds of MLD mirrors and blister formation near the threshold. Here, we present the cross-sectional study of the blisters using transmission electron microscopy and focused ion-beam processing. The measurement shows evidence of void formation and phase transformation under the surface, interdiffusion, and intermixing at the interfaces. These findings provide valuable insights into the mechanisms behind laser-induced damage, facilitating the development of more robust and reliable optics for high-power laser applications.
