Multi-layer systems are frequently used as anti-reflective coatings (ARCs) due to their
excellent optical properties. However, these systems suffer from erosive degradation (wear) …

We report on extensive femtosecond laser damage threshold measurements of optical
materials in both bulk and thin-film form. This study, which is based on published and new …

The usage of renewable energy is an alternative countermeasure against the ongoing
climatic change. In this regard, solar energy has been shown to be one of the best ways to …

We report on the laser damage resistance of ion beam—sputtered oxide materials
(Al_2O_3, Nb_2O_5, HfO_2, SiO_2, Ta_2O_5, ZrO_2) and mixtures of Al_2O_3-SiO_2 …

A principal possibility to overcome fundamental (intrinsic) limit of pure optical materials laser
light resistance is investigated by designing artificial materials with desired optical …

Achieving higher optical power in UV laser systems is a challenging task due to the limited
performance of their built-in optical elements. As a rule of thumb, interference coatings of …

The optical resistance of the hybrid inorganic–organic photopolymer ORMOSIL (SZ2080)
was investigated by means of laser-induced damage threshold. The chosen material is …

We report on a numerical optimization of the laser induced damage threshold of multi-
dielectric high reflection mirrors in the sub-picosecond regime. We highlight the interplay …

Dielectric components are essential for laser applications. Chirped mirrors are applied to
compress the temporal pulse broadening crucial in the femtosecond regime. However, the …
