Abstract:The lifetime of optical components submitted to high laser fluences is decreased under organic contaminated environment. Our previous studies have shown that chemical species outgassed from materials present in the laser environment of the Ligne d'Intégration Laser (LIL) and in the optics packaging (phthalates, silicones, and aromatic compounds) are potential contaminants for optics. In order to avoid the presence of such molecules in the Megajoule Laser (LMJ) environment, a new comprehensive program is starte… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
