The LIDT lab features a high-power Nd:YAG laser with the options to test optical components at wavelengths of 1.064 nm, 532 nm, 355 nm, and 266 nm for nanosecond pulse durations. Future investments in additional pulse durations and wavelengths are planned. The lab is run by Dr. Matthew Dabney, a Principal Laser Engineer at Edmund Optics, who has more than 30 years of experience researching how lasers interact with different materials. He is the author of over 30 published papers on topics including pulsed laser deposition of novel transparent conducting oxides, laser nucleation and growth of silicon, the safe use of Class 4 lasers in industrial settings, and developing a robust LIDT testbed.
In addition to laser optics product testing and process development, the in-house LIDT lab also plays an important role in the update of ISO 21254, the international standard for specifying laser-induced damage. More details on the development of the LIDT test lab ca, be found in a webinar recording by Dr. Matthew Dabney.
