Lasers and laser-related equipment — Test methods for laser-induced damage threshold — Part 3: Assurance of laser power (energy) handling capabilities

Apstrakt

ISO 21254-3:2011 specifies two methods of verifying the power density (energy density) handling capability of optical surfaces.
The first method provides a rigorous test that fulfils the requirements at a specified confidence level in the knowledge of potential defects.
The second method provides a simple, and hence inexpensive, test for an empirically derived test level.
