before and aer it was used in the FEL, as shown in Figure 18.4.
In addition to performing prolometry on cavity optics ex situ, the mirrors were
observed in situ with visible and FLIR cameras during operation of the JLab FEL. What
was noted [12] was that occasionally damage would initiate at a relatively low irradiance,
ca. 10 kW/cm

as evidenced by a sudden increase in scattered coherent harmonic light
