Investigation of the microstructure of coatings for high power lasers by non-optical techniques
Description:
The microstructure of optical coatings strongly influence their resistance to high fluence laser, scatter properties, as well as, their mechanical and environmental stability. The relative merits of non-optical techniques, such as: scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and focused ion beam, are discussed as they apply to optical multilayer coatings. The combination of these techniques provides a unique method to analyze defects in coatings. The…
