摘要
In this paper, the relation between the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) and the electric field intensity (EFI) distribution inside a CM is investigated experimentally. We show that it is possible to increase the LIDT values by slightly modifying the electric field of a standing wave distribution without loss of spectral and dispersion performance. Suggested CM design improvement could increase reliability and LIDT performance of both CM elements and high-power systems they are used in. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
