    Detecting subsurface defects in optical elements is crucial for preventing ultraviolet laser damage. This study introduces a novel imaging system to pinpoint defect depth, improving optical element fabrication and laser damage resistance.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Laser Physics

    Background:

    • Subsurface defects (micrometers to tens of micrometers) in optical transmission elements can cause ultraviolet (UV) laser-induced damage.
    • The small size and disordered nature of these defects make them difficult to detect with conventional methods.
    • Improving the damage resistance of optical elements requires understanding and diagnosing factors limiting their performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a diagnostic method for precisely locating subsurface defects in optical elements.
    • To investigate the time-resolved behavior of laser-induced damage originating from defects.
    • To enhance the fabrication technology of optical elements by identifying damage-limiting factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Establishment of a micron space-resolved, nanosecond time-resolved imaging system.
