An understanding of damage mechanisms is fundamental to good design of laser products operating at high power. This book describes how the physical and chemical properties of laser materials combine to affect the power and energy handling capabilities of these materials and the systems that they are used for. Based on an established short course given by the author, this volume is ideally suited to optical engineers and those involved in the design of laser systems.
