SPIE Laser Damage 2015

The 47th Annual Symposium on Optical Materials for High Power Lasers is the leading forum for the exchange of information on the physics/technology of materials for high-power/high-energy lasers. The series of conference proceedings has grown to be a comprehensive source of information on optics for lasers and includes topics on laser-induced damage mechanisms, materials and thin film preparation, durability, properties modeling, testing, and component fabrication. The Symposium will include both oral and poster presentations with no parallel sessions. This year, the Tutorial will be on Defect-Induced Damage in Nano- and Femtosecond Regime.
