Abstract
The development of high power lasers requires damage resistant antireflcetion (AR) surfaces. Present multilayer dielectric AR coating, do not have sufficient laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDT's) to pulsed lasers, particularly in the short wavelength region. LIDT strongly depends on the absorption coefficient of optical coatings and the impurities on the optical substrate. The absorption coefficient of optical coatings can be minimized by optimizing the deposition conditions.
