Abstract:
Instruments and techniques are described by which a known and controllable Q-switched laser illumination level was obtained. This light was then used for determining the damage threshold of specially prepared dielectric mirrors, and for creating internal damage in optical glass. Presentation is made of the data obtained from experiments using the capabilities described above. The nature of the data obtained, both on the damage to dielectric mirrors and within the volume of glass, indicate that new theories are now needed to account for the damage phenomena observed.
