Plasma-ion-assisted coatings for 15 femtosecond laser systems

Appl Opt. 2014 Feb 1;53(4):A221-8. doi: 10.1364/AO.53.00A221.

Abstract

Large-aperture deposition of high-laser-damage-threshold, low-dispersion optical coatings for 15 femtosecond pulses have been developed using plasma-ion-assisted electron-beam evaporation. Coatings are demonstrated over 10 in. aperture substrates.
