in literature. We can suppose that coatings are generally less resistant than the bulk of
these materials. In this section, we present the most frequently used laser materials with
their laser damage thresholds.
11.2.3.1 Glasses
Glasses form an important class of host materials. ey have the advantages to be easily
fabricated, available in large size and excellent optical quality. e most common optical
glasses are oxide glasses, mainly silicates (SiO
