Laser systems capable of delivering energetic nanosecond pulses with large incoherent bandwidth spanning more than 10 THz are currently under development for the study of laser–plasma instabilities. A consequence of such a spectrum is random intensity fluctuations, which may have a significant effect on laser damage thresholds. A special damage test station has been built for studying the effect this unique radiation has on common laser materials. We will share measurements of damage thresholds in coated optics, KDP, transmission gratings, and bare materials under various conditions aimed at understanding the role temporal fluctuations play in laser damage.
