A method is directed to increasing the hardness of zinc sulfide. The hardness of zinc sulfide is increased by adding selective elements within a specified range to the crystal lattice of the zinc sulfide. The increased hardness over conventional zinc sulfide does not substantially compromise the optical properties of the zinc sulfide. The zinc sulfide may be used as a protective coating for windows and domes.

Method for quantitative determination of the suitability of crystals for optical components exposed to high energy densities, crystals graded in this way and uses thereof
A method is described for quantitative determination of suitability of an optical material, especially alkali halide and alkaline earth halide single crystals, for optical components exposed to high energy densities, especially of pulsed laser light at wavelengths under 250 nm. In this procedure radiation-dependent transmission of the optical material is determined at ultraviolet wavelengths by fluorescence measurements for fluorescence induced by ultraviolet radiation at these ultraviolet wavelengths. This is accomplished by a method including determining an induced fluorescence maximum of a non-linear absorption process, measuring a slope (|dT/dH|) of a functional relationship representing the dependence of the radiation-dependent transmission on fluence (H) for the induced fluorescence and determining radiation-dependent transmissions from this slope for particular fluence values.
An optical article and method of making the same are provided. The optical article has optical multi-aperture operation. The optical article has one or more electrically conductive and selectively passivated patterns.
An optical material for lithographic applications is selected from crystal materials by a testing method. The crystal materials are preferably quartz and/or alkali or alkaline earth halides, especially fluorides, or mixed crystals. The testing method includes three tests to measure irreversible radiation damage: 1) the optical material is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation at 193 nm and the non-intrinsic fluorescence intensity at 740 nm is measured; 2) the optical material is irradiated with high energy density laser light and a change in respective absorptions before and after irradiation at 385 nm is measured; and 3) the optical material is irradiated with an X-ray or radioactive source to form all possible color centers and a difference of respective surface integrals of corresponding absorption spectra in ultraviolet spectral and/or visible spectral regions is measured before and after irradiation.
The apparatus for extending or lengthening a laser pulse has a beam splitter. An incident laser pulse is split by the beam splitter into at least one first partial pulse and a second partial pulse. The first partial pulse is conducted through a delaying travel path section with a number of reflectors. The apparatus is characterized by a plurality of the variable delaying travel path sections which produce different length laser beam pulses from a single incident laser pulse.

Method of determining laser stabilities of optical materials, crystals selected according to said method, and uses of said selected crystals
2 blanks. In conclusion we achieved a strong improvement of the critical parameters of both refractive index homogeneity and striae for large size lens blanks up to 270 mm diameter.
The invention relates to a device (1) for analysis or absorption measurement on small amounts, for example on a drop or droplet of a liquid medium (2) by means of light (3) with an upper planar location spot (4) for the application or dropping of the medium (2), a light entry (5) in the housing (6) arranged beneath said location spot or location surface (4) and a first device (7) in the light beam behind said light entry (5) for deflection of the light upwards to the location spot (4) where a detachably mounted reflector (8) is also located. The device (7) for deflecting the light beam is designed such that the direction of the optical axis of the deflected light beam is oriented upwards towards the middle (M) of the device (1) and the inclined position of the optical axis of the light beam with regard to the device mid-point (M) is arranged to be directed at the position of the reflector (8) through which the longitudinal median (M) between the light entry (5) and the light exit (1) from the device runs. The height of assembly of said device (1) relative to one in which the light is first deflected about a right angle and only then after a further direction change directed at the location spot or the sample is correspondingly lower.
The method determines the extent of irreversible radiation damage of an optical material. The method includes the following three tests to determine the extent of irreversible radiation damage: 1) the optical material is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation at a wavelength of 193 nm and the non-intrinsic fluorescence intensity at a wavelength of 740 nm is measured; 2) the optical material is irradiated with high energy laser light and a change in respective absorptions at a wavelength of 385 nm is determined before and after irradiation; and 3) the optical material is irradiated with an energetic radiation source to form all possible color centers and a difference of respective surface integrals of corresponding absorption spectra in ultraviolet spectral and/or visible spectral regions is measured before and after irradiation.
The method produces low-stress, large-volume crystals with low birefringence and uniform index of refraction. The method includes growing the crystal with larger than desired dimensions including diameter and height from a melt; cooling and tempering the crystal with the larger than desired dimensions and after the cooling and tempering removing edge regions of the crystal with the larger than desired dimensions so that a diameter reduction and a height reduction of at least five percent occurs respectively and so that the crystal has the desired dimensions of diameter and height. No further tempering takes place after removing of the edge regions.
