6.1 Introduction
In principle, the concept of laser-induced damage refers to the occurrence of permanent
changes in the optical materials. In practice, this change results in the degradation of the
optical performance of the system. erefore, it is highly imperative to measure the power-
and energy-handling capabilities of the optical components comprising the optical/laser
system in order to ensure the lifetime and reliable operation of such systems.
e phenomena of laser-induced damage in optics have been observed i
