Damage Threshold Studies of Glass Laser Materials

Abstract

The document discusses progress during the reporting period in the following areas: development of a method for preventing the formation of damaging platinum particles in laser glass melted in platinum crucibles; the design and construction of a high energy density glass laser operating in the TEM(oo) mode; and, research on increasing the surface damage threshold of laser glass.
