Surface Evaluation of Laser-Irradiated Coated/Uncoated MIR Optronic Components

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking DLR Stuttgart as follows: The contractor will investigate the sensitivity of the scatter probe and photothermal deflection techniques for detecting the onset of laser-induced damage, and the applicability of these techniques for online, precursor laser-induced damage detection in mid-IR optical components irradiated with out-of-band radiation.
