CW CO 2 laser damage in optical components: thermal modeling and surface characterization

Abstract: This paper reports progress towards characterizing the laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) for zinc selenide and copper components in CW/C02 laser optical systems. The work has been undertaken by industrial partners and research centres supported by the CRAFT initiative of the European Commission.Specimen surfaces have been characterized by a wide range of experimental methods, including absorption calorimetry. Thermal modelling on the basis of these observations indicates that the temperature rise in irradi… Show more
