Expanded Damage Test Facilities at LLNL
SourceWe are completing a thorough expansion of the laser-induced damage-test capabilities at LLNL which allow us to conduct tests under a variety of parameter conditions. We have nine different laser systems which cover the following parameter space:
| Laser | Wavelength (nm) | Max. PRF (Hz) | Duration (ns) | Peak Fluence (J/cm2) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reptile 1 | 1064 | 30 | 10 | 65 |
| Reptile 2/4 | 532, 266 | 10 | 10 | 40, 25 |
| Reptile 3 | 355 | 10 | 10 | 40 |
| Chameleon 3 | 1064, 532, 355, 266 | 10 | 3 | > 50 |
| Chameleon 10 | 1064, 532, 355, 266 | 10 | 10 | > 50 |
| Raster Blaster | 1064 | 17.8 | 8 | 60 |
| Variable Pulse Laser (VPL) | 1064 | Single shot | 1–100 | > 70 |
| Kilroy | 1064 | 6000 | 65 | 10 |
| Felix | 350, 248 | 100 | 20 | 30 |
We describe details of the physical configurations of the individual systems, laser and sample diagnostics, and general testing procedures and capabilities. Damage test results are presented in a companion paper at this conference — “Laser Damage Database at 1064 nm”.
