Bennett, HE
This STP contains the papers presented at the Twenty-First Symposium on Optical Materials for High-Power Lasers held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology held in November, 1989. The Symposium was sponsored jointly by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the American Society for Testing Materials, the International Society for Optical Engineering, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, and the Department of Energy.
Papers in this publication are organized in the order they were presented during the symposium. The topics headings are
- Materials and Measurements
- Mirrors and Surfaces
- Thin Films
- Fundamental Mechanisms
The emphasis of the papers presented at the Symposium was directed toward new frontiers and new developments. Particular emphasis was given to materials for high power apparatus.
The more than 50 papers in this collection cover topics such as:
- standard definitions
- optical characterization
- ellipsometry
- microindentation
- subsurface damage assessment
- excimer laser optics
- test facilities at LLNL
- high-peak-power
- thallium arsenic selenide (TAS)
- laser damage processes
- microwave propagation
