Lidaris Presents at SPIE Laser Damage 2025
What if you could predict laser damage before it happens? At SPIE Laser Damage 2025, Lidaris presents a study exploring how damage-initiating defects in 355 nm HR mirrors can be identified using high-resolution imaging, absorption mapping (PCI), and LIDT raster scans. The results show how combining these methods helps localize potential failure points more precisely.
At this year’s SPIE Laser Damage 2025, Lidaris researcher Dr. Justinas Galinis will present a talk titled:
“Localized Damage Initiation: Correlating DIC Imaging, PCI Mapping, and LIDT Raster Scan Testing for High-Reflectivity Mirror.”
This study combines different techniques such as Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscopy, Photo-Thermal Common-Path Interferometry (PCI), LIDT raster scanning, and others — to better understand how and where laser damage starts in dielectric high-reflectivity mirrors at 355 nm. By overlaying and comparing defect maps from each method, the team investigates correlations how subtle absorption and surface features evolve into damage initiation points.
