• LIDT Tests

    Sometimes referred to as a threshold test, this is the definitive test for a sample. An LIDT (Laser Induced Damage Threshold) test gives the energy/power density value that your sample can withstand. A numerical threshold value is determined and a full certification report given.

    • Pulsed LIDT tests are described here on our FAQ page, see LIDT
    • CW Laser-Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) Tests are described here on our FAQs page, see LIDT. CW Tests take longer and are more expensive than Pulsed.
  • PASS/FAIL Certification

    A PASS/FAIL test is a simpler assessment which does not reveal the damage threshold, it gives a PASS/FAIL result for a customer-specified energy/power level.

    • Pulsed PASS/FAIL tests are described here on our FAWs page, see PASS/FAIL
    • CW PASS/FAIL tests are described here on our FAQs page, see PASS/FAIL
  • Additional Information

    We are happy to give you any additional information that your tests produced, often considered a most valuable extra.

  • Laser Damage Longevity and Durability Tests

    All tests are available at wide range of wavelengths, repetition rates, and pulse durations.

  • Affordable Coating Chamber Mapping

    Smart methodology is used along with accurate multiple laser-damage assessments to affordably map out all regions of your coating chamber.

  • Customer Defined Laser Damage Tests

    Please contact us to discuss your requirements. Other damage related tests are available.

BRL specialise in high-power, pulsed and CW laser damage testing. We offer a wide variety of wavelengths and beam parameters. All instrumentation is calibrated to NIST or BS standards. All LIDT tests are performed to ISO 21254-1, 21254-2, 21254-3, and 21254-4 guidelines. Please contact us to discuss your requirements. You can download our order form for pulsed laser damage and for CW laser damage. The forms detail all the parameters we need to test your samples.
