Abstract

Using a micro channel plate (MCP), we have developed a sensitive method for measuring the onset of laser damage by detecting liberated surface ions and XUV radiation from the laser induced surface plasma. This method is insensitive to optical alignment and therefore assures good repeatability over numerous measurements.
