Statistical description of laser damage initiation in NIF and LMJ Optics at 355 nm

Understanding the 'extreme statistics' of failure at a weak link allows extrapolation of the results of small area laser damage tests to predict damage levels for the large areas pertinent to NIF/LMJ. Conceptually, it is important to focus on the fluence dependence of the surface density of damage sites. Results of different types of damage tests can be reported in terms of this sample characteristic property.
