Effects of laser radiation on surfaces and coatings
Abstract
A summary is given of the principal aspects of laser induced damage to polished optical surfaces and dielectric, thin film, high reflectivity and antireflective coatings. Methods for producing porous antireflective surfaces and coatings and their damage properties are also reviewed. Finally, new areas of basic research to solve current and future problems are addressed.
