The Fourteenth Annual Symposium on Optical Materials for High Power Lasers took place in Boulder, Colorado, in 1982. This volume highlights the latest research presented at the event, focusing on materials and methods that enable high-power laser performance while managing damage risks. It covers practical topics from surface and coating science to fundamental mechanisms behind laser damage, with emphasis on materials suitable for demanding energy levels and wavelengths from 10.6 microns into the ultraviolet.
Readers will find a clear picture of how researchers approach laser-induced damage, including discussions of surface characterization, thin-film/substrate interactions, and the role of material properties in preventing breakdown under intense light. The work presents a snapshot of the field's state at that time, with technical details and expert perspectives from leaders in the field.
- Overview of damage thresholds and the factors that influence them
- Insights into surface, film, and interface phenomena relevant to high-power lasers
- Descriptions of experimental approaches to characterize laser-matter interactions
- Discussion of epitaxial and thin-film techniques relevant to optical materials, including molecular beam epitaxy
Ideal for researchers, engineers, and students seeking a concise, referenceable snapshot of early-1980s work in high-power laser materials and damage mechanisms.

If you're dissatisfied with your purchase (Incorrect Book/Not as Described/Damaged) or if the order hasn't arrived, you're eligible for a refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. If you've changed your mind about a book that you've ordered, please use the ask bookseller a question link to contact us and we'll respond within 2 business days.
Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
