OIC Measurement Challenge

The OIC Measurement Challenge is a unique opportunity for the optical coatings community to benchmark and verify their test equipment and their test procedures for almost 20 years now. As always, a special task is given, which should be challenging but at the same time also meaningful. Moreover, the problem should be accessible to a broad range of potential participants with both, standard equipment and specialized tools. This time, the goal of the Measurement Challenge (MC) is the sensitive and precise measurement of the optical losses of high-reflecting (HR) mirrors at a wavelength of 1064 nm and/or 355 nm, and an AOI of 0°.
