What is LIDT?
Manx Precision Optics (MPO) has just released their latest Technical Note, TN2022-02 This note is entitled, “What is LIDT?” This note explains the concept of Laser Induced Damage Threshold.
LIDT is defined as the “highest quantity of laser radiation incident upon the optical component for which the extrapolated probability of damage is zero” by ISO 21254-1.
MPO manufactures optical components and precision optics, offering customized products as well as a wide range of off-the-shelf components at highly competitive prices.
As a leading manufacturer of optical components for high laser-induced damage threshold (LITDT) and ultrafast pulse laser applications, MPO constantly expands their product range to offer customers the latest, state-of-the-art components. The research and development staff are constantly pushing the boundaries on optical coating performance to provide innovative solutions for our customers across the world. Consequently, MPO’s products are found in the world’s most powerful laser systems.
The main categories of their standard products are: coated optics (including components for ultrafast lasers), uncoated optics, and polarization optics.
MPO experiments with laser resistant coatings and work with LIDT testing companies to achieve the highest thresholds possible.
