Abstract
Results of an experimental study of the effect of intense laser radiation i n the mid-lR range on VO2 mirrors are presented. The damage thresholds of V O2 mirrors by single-pulse, periodically pulsed, and cw radiation are deter mined, and the damage mechanism is analyzed. A numerical simulation of the switching dynamics of VO2 mirrors under intense periodically pulsed radiati on is carried out. (C) 2000 The Optical Society of America. [S1070-9762(00) 00506-6].
