We invite you to attend this 30-minute webinar presented by Dr. Matthew Dabney, Principal Laser Engineer at Edmund Optics. Ultraviolet (UV) laser systems present unique challenges due to their high photon energy and material sensitivity, making them more susceptible to laser damage and contamination. In this session, Dr. Dabney will provide an overview of UV laser damage mechanisms and their impact on optical system performance and lifetime.

At the end of this webinar, attendees will have a strong understanding of:

Laser Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT), including pulsed vs. continuous wave measurements
Why Single Longitudinal Mode lasers are used in LIDT testing
Why UV wavelengths are more demanding on optical materials
Laser Induced Contamination (LIC), common contamination sources, and how LIC leads to damage
Optical Fatigue and how it differs from traditional LIDT
