A number of commercially available optical coatings, both antireflective and high reflective, have been tested for their laser-induced damage threshold, involving a total of eight different laboratories. The results obtained and the experimental methods used at these laboratories were discussed among the participants in this round robin at a minisymposium held at Balzers, Liechtenstein, 9-10 Dec. 1982. A final report of the round robin and a summary of the conclusions drawn at that symposium are presented.
