Optical materials
Starting from bulk material absorption measurements some years ago, we consequently extended and adapted our various methods for a more and more comprehensive characterization of complete optical components without the requirement for special time-consuming and costly sample preparation. This includes the separation of bulk and coating properties of one single optical component (e.g. a laser mirror or window).
The available measurement methods include
- transmission [details]
- laser-induced absorption (LID) [details]
- bulk material (planar surfaces)
- laser windows (curved surface) - laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) [details]
- UV Raman spectra [details]
- vacuum UV spectroscopy
- wave front deformation (Shack-Hartmann sensor) [details]
- laser-induced degradation [details]
- micro-channel formation (e.g. fused silica) [details]
- cavity ring down [details]
