Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop high damage threshold optics for future high power laser system, we’ve proposed uv excited ozone diffraction optics. In this research, we clarified and demonstrated that (1) this damage threshold is about 1kJ/cm^2 for 6ns pulse laser, (2) more than 70% diffraction efficiency is achieved with precise control of initial ozone density and matching between incident angle and diffraction grating period. With these experimental results said that one order of magnitude smaller optical system will be available and only 1cm^2 cross sectional optics can control 1kJ high power laser beam. That should be very active for future ultra-high power lasers.
