Abstract

Quantizing nanolaminates are an interesting alternative to classical coating materials with greater independence of refractive index and the optical bandgap energy. This leads to more flexibility and considerable potential to increase the laser-induced damage threshold in the ultra-short pulse regime. The following study presents and compares the design choices, characterization, and LIDT testing of different quantizing nanolaminates for the ultraviolet spectral range to classical coating materials.
