Paper Abstract
The femto-second technology gains of increasing importance in industrial applications. In this
context, a new generation of compact and low cost laser sources has to be provided on a commercial
basis. Typical pulse durations of these sources are specified in the range from a few hundred femtoup
to some pico-seconds, and typical wavelengths are centered around 1030-1080nm. As a
consequence, also the demands imposed on high power optical components for these laser sources
are rapidly increasing, especially in respect to their power handling capability in the ultra-short pulse
range. The present contribution is dedicated to some aspects for improving this quality parameter of
optical coatings. The study is based on a set of hafnia and silica mixtures with different compositions
and optical band gaps. This material combination displays under ultra-short pulse laser irradiation
effects, which are typically for thermal processes. For instance, melting had been observed in the
morphology of damaged sides. In this context, models for a prediction of the laser damage
thresholds and scaling laws are scrutinized, and have been modified calculating the energy of the
electron ensemble. Furthermore, a simple first order approach for the calculation of the temperature
was included.
