This volume of the LLE Review, covering July–September 2010, features “Grating Inspection System for Large-Scale Multilayer-Dielectric Gratings for High-Energy Laser Systems” by T. Nguyen, C. Kingsley, J. Bunkenburg, A. Kalb, M. Bedzyk, D. Weiner, T. Walker, and J. R. Marciante. The article (p. 165) reports on the development of a high-resolution inspection system for the detection of laser damage on large-scale (1.41-m # 0.43-m) multilayer diffraction gratings in the OMEGA EP short-pulse laser system. The grating inspection system (GIS) is fully integrated within the vacuum grating compressor and enables inspections to be carried out while the compressor chamber is under vacuum. Damage is detected by imaging scattered light from damage sites on the grating surface. Features as small as 250 nm can be identified with the system.
