This book covers the basics, realization and materials for high
power laser systems and high power radiation interaction with
matter. The physical and technical fundamentals of high intensity
laser optics and adaptive optics and the related physical processes
in high intensity laser systems are explained. A main question
discussed is: What is power optics? In what way is it different
from ordinary optics widely used in cameras, motion-picture
projectors, i.e., for everyday use? An undesirable consequence of
the thermal deformation of optical elements and surfaces was
discovered during studies of the interaction with powerful incident
laser radiation. The requirements to the fabrication, performance
and quality of optical elements employed within systems for most
practical applications are also covered. The high-power laser
performance is generally governed by the following: (i) the
absorption of incident optical radiation (governed primarily by
various absorption mechanisms), (ii) followed by a temperature
increase and response governed primarily by thermal properties and
(iii) the thermo-optical and thermo-mechanical response of
distortion, stress, fracture, etc. All this needs to be understood
to design efficient, compact, reliable and useful high power
systems for many applications under a variety of operating
conditions, pulsed, continuous wave and burst mode of varying duty
cycles. The book gives an overview of an important spectrum of
related topics like laser resonator configurations, intermetallic
optical coatings, heat carriers for high power optics, cellular
materials, high-repetition-rate lasers and mono-module disk lasers
for high power optics.
