Most of the literature on laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), including that previously published by Edmund Optics, has focused exclusively on issues related to surface damage. This focus was justified because, historically, the LIDT of optical components was limited by dielectric coatings and surface quality, rather than bulk damage.1 However, with the recent development of nano-structured anti-reflective surfaces, dielectric coatings are not always necessary.
