Quantitative Evaluation of Subsurface Damage by Improved Total Internal Reflection Microscopy

Subsurface damage (SSD), having a great impact on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of ultra-smooth optics applied in high-power laser systems, should be tightly controlled. An improved total internal reflection microscopy (TIRM), combined with digital image processing techniques, is propose...
