mirror (Primak and Kampwirth, 1968). Uniform irradiation of both surfaces is neces-
sary to maintain the reected wavefront of a mirror. Alternatively, nonuniform irradia-
tion can be used to compensate for excessive coating stresses by balancing the stresses
from nonuniform compaction to reduce aer coating reected wavefront performance.
Gamma irradiation for substrate darkening has been found to have minimal impact
on the 1064nm laser resistance of nanosecond-length laser pulses; however, a signi-
cant reduction in the 1064nm laser resistance at picosecond-length pulses has been
observed. A mi ...
