Theoretical and experimental study of improved catastrophic optical damage performance in 830nm high power lasers with non-absorbing mirrors

We carry out a systematic theoretical and experimental study on the improvement in catastrophic optical damage of 830 nm lasers with non-absorbing mirrors. We find a three-fold increase in COD optical power level compared to conventional lasers
