レーザー誘起損傷閾値 (LIDT) としても知られるレーザー損傷閾値 (LDT) は、光学部品をレーザーアプリケーションに実装する際に考慮すべき最も重要な仕様の一つです。エドモンド・オプティクスは、ARコートが施されたTECHSPEC® レンズ製品の多くに対し、レーザー損傷閾値 (レーザー耐力) か典型エネルギー密度限界のいずれかのスペックを規定しています。

The length of a laser resonator determines the laser’s resonator modes, or the electric field distributions that cause a standing wave in the cavity.
