Side-by-side comparison of LIDT of MF and RF magnetron sputtered mirrors at a central wavelength of 1064 nm

Abstract

Here we present a side-by-side comparison of LIDT of highly-reflective mirrors at a central wavelength of 1064 nm produced via MF magnetron- and RF magnetron-sputtering deposition methods. The latter sample demonstrates LIDT >90 J/cm2.
