5. Optical components for high laser flux

5.1 Solid materials

Transparent materials used for high-power applications must have the lowest possible absorption at the wavelength of interest, and very few impurities. There is a wealth of data in the literature, but as we have seen, it can be difficult to compare results obtained by different laboratories, and manufacturing processes have a major impact on flux resistance. We will therefore not give absolute threshold values, but we will mention materials known to be resistant to laser flux.

  • Silica (SiO 2 ) of the synthetic type (UV grade fused silica) is a material of choice as it exhibits very good flux performance from DUV (> 1 J/cm 2 ,...
