Abstract
In laser materials processing systems, power densities or fluences may reach levels which can endanger optical elements located in the beam path. In this paper, laser-induced damage to optical elements is reviewed in a general sense without reference to specific wavelengths or modes of operation. Emphasis is put on the distinction of functional vs. catastrophic laser damage, and on laser damage test procedures.
