"Optical" strength of lenses and prisms

V. V. Lyubimov, I. A. Fersman, L. D. Khazov


Abstract: It is shown that premature damage of lenses and prisms can be avoided by suitable selection of the lens parameters and by optimal positioning of the prisms in a light beam. In this way, these optical elements can be made to work at higher flux densities.
