Abstract
In new laser facilities, broadband ultra-short pulses need to be transported in large and energetic beams to the experiment chambers through high performance optical components. We studied laser resistance of electronbeam- deposited materials in order to design meter scale high reflective optics according to petawatt-system requirements. We report intrinsic laser resistance of several dielectric materials, spectral performances of high reflective coatings and their laser induced damage threshold at different pulse durations from 150ps to 11fs.
