Automated laser induced damage threshold testing applied to a ferroelectric spatial light modulator

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

Laser Induced Damage Thresholds (LIDTs) are a measure of the level of fluence an optical component may be expected to handle without observable damage. In this work we present an automated system for measurement of LIDTs for a wide range of components and include details of the data handling, image processing and code required. We then apply this system to LIDT measurements of a commercial HDP-1280-2 'BlueJay' ferroelectric display finding a LIDT of 9.2 W/cm2 Ø27μm, 5.5 W/cm2 Ø150μm and 3.2 W/cm2 Ø3.1mm with wavelength 1090+-5nm. Finally, the quality of the results obtained are discussed and conclusions drawn.
