Continuous wave laser induced damage threshold of AMTIR-1, 2, 5 and 7 chalcogenide windows at 1.07 microns

Abstract

The continuous wave laser-induced damage thresholds of Amorphous Materials chalcogenide glasses, Amorphous Materials AMTIR-1, AMTIR-2, AMTIR-5, and AMTIR-7 are measured for a 5s exposure of 1.07 μm light focused to a spot size with 1/e2 diameter of 830 μm or 1044 μm, following the International Organization for Standardization standards.
