It is important to understand the damage process of optical coatings subjected to
nanosecond laser ablation. However, investigating the high power laser interaction with …

Concentric rings are observed on the front surface when a laser pulse focuses on the rear
surface of fused silica. The spatial distribution of concentric rings presents a certain …

Nanosecond pulse laser-induced damage is associated with nodular defects and nano-
precursors in hafnium oxide (HfO 2)/silica (SiO 2) multilayer films. In this study, the dynamic …

Large-scale layers peeling after the laser irradiation of dual ion beam sputtering coatings is
discovered and a model is established to explain it. The laser damage morphologies relate …
