Understanding the physical process behind laser-induced damage of multilayer dielectric (MLD) interference coatings (IC) is of supreme importance for building ultrahigh-intensity laser systems. We experimentally studied the S-on-1 laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) and damage characteristics of the SiO2/HfO2 high reflector quarter-wave stacks for three different femtosecond pulse durations operating at 1030nm wavelength. The S-on-1 LIDT for 1,10,100,1000 and 10000 pulses were recorded, and the values compare well with the state of the art. A strong correlation between single-shot damage morphology and laser focal intensity profiles was observed. Potential damage mechanisms of IC layers consistent with our observation will be discussed.
