Laser-induced damage testing of optics for the ALADIN laser

Conditions for the efficiency of optical limiting based on experiment and quantum chemical calculations

“…Currently, the laser systems can be configured to operate at near maximum source power for a limited operating time 7 or at maximum technical capacity, resulting in ongoing damage to optical components. 8 Although the mechanism of material destruction under the influence of laser radiation requires further research, it is important to determine specific values of energy flux density up to which the functionality of the photosensitive system is maintained.…”
