Abstract

In this paper, we report on the second installment of our ongoing investigation into the nature of the laser survivability curve (LSC). The LSC has been traditionally viewed as a curve in the plane defined by fluence,φ , and the number of shots, N, which defines the frontier of assured survival. In this year's report we expand the concept of the survivability curve to a surface of survival, the laser survival surface (LSS), which is in turn used to develop a conditional probability estimate for survival. This conditional probability viewpoint is discussed as a possible basis for a cost-efficient life time test. The LSS is developed for test results at 1064 nm wavelength taken at atmospheric pressure and at vacuum.
