This STP contains papers presented at the Twenty-Second Symposium on Optical Materials for High-Power Lasers. The symposium was held in October, 1990.
The symposium was jointly sponsored by
- National Institute of Standards and Technology
- American Society for Testing and Materials
- Center for Research in Electro-Optics and Lasers at the University of Central Florida
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
- Los Alamos National Laboratory
- SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering
- Weapons Laboratory (USAF)
This extensive reference contains more than 550 pages. The papers presented at the symposium generally fell into the categories
- Materials and Measurements
- Surfaces and Mirrors
- Thin Films
- Fundamental Mechanisms
These categories are used to organize the papers in this publication as well. This publication contains four papers not presented during the symposium along with either the full paper or an abstract for 52 presented papers.
Specific topics addressed by papers in these proceedings include:
- laser damage
