Abstract

This work presents a newly constructed setup for laser damage assessment at FOI, Sweden. The laboratory-based system is built around a 2 kW single mode fiber laser. The design, characterisation and performance of the system will be discussed. Initial studies on various fiber-reinforced plastics are presented. The time-to-penetration of different test-coupons is compared to analytical models and the range of applicability of these simple models will be discussed. Finally, laser damage studies on a hobby UAV will be shown.
