Optical elements tend to break when exposed to intense laser radiation. No one knows it better than companies, which use, produce and sell optical elements. Damaged optical element means troubles: unhappy clients, tiresome realignments, overtimes, delays, money loss and etc. Lidaris provides smart ways to survive laser damage. Our service includes: > Laser- Induced Damage Threshold Measurements • NS-PS-FS regimes • From IR to UV spectral range; • Air, vacuum, cryo. • Test available in single shot and multi shot pulse regimes > Optical scattering measurements > Consulting in design of experiments > Support when searching for best optics technology of vendor > Development of sophisticated laser equipment The core of LIDARIS crew consists of scientists and PhD students, mainly graduates of Vilnius University (VU) in Lithuania, EU. Our experience gained during >14 years of international research covers fields such as laser-induced damage, optical element and thin film coating development. The measurement equipment developed at the Laser Research Center of Vilnius University has been designed to meet the guidelines of international ISO standards for LIDT testing. Our team is constantly involved in international projects and R&D activities related to laser damage topics. We publish our results in the main conferences and scientific international (ISI) journals of the field.
