This month’s edition of Electro Optics Magazine features an article on the test ethos of BRL and our latest whitepaper on threshold elevation. Gemma Church explains how and why BRL takes a robust and accurate approach to laser damage testing, alongside comments from our CEO Dr Rona Belford on the potential to overtest samples during ...
We are pleased to welcome Andrew Ritchie as a Physicist and Systems Programmer. Andrew’s experience in A.I and robotics will be used to address a high level of system integration at BRL, enhancing the efficacy of our knowledgeable team of laser damage test experts.
BRL’s latest whitepaper expands on the subject of annealing and its influence on accurate determination of laser damage threshold. This whitepaper addresses the threshold elevation that can arise from over dosing the test sample with laser light. The whitepaper can be found here.
BRL presents “Laser Damage for Optical Coaters” via the Digital Exhibition at SPIE Security + Defence 2020. This virtual demonstration shows real time optical samples under test and explains what samples are needed for different types of testing. Exciting live footage of laser damage is presented. It is now available to view on the SPIE ...
This month’s Electro Optics Viewpoint presents a short profile of BRL’s capabilities as a laser damage test house and highlights the requirement of high LIDT for high power lasers. This Viewpoint, authored by BRL’s CEO Dr Rona Belford, also examines the distinct regimes of laser damage and how they pertain to pulsed, CW or ultrafast ...
This month’s Electro Optics magazine features BRL’s latest whitepaper, “High Power Laser Damage & Annealing – Justification for ISO Standard Recommendations” by Dr Rona Belford and Kieran R Ross. The potential for large scale variance in LIDT values is explained. This article emphaises critical details in the ISO standards.
