A preliminary study has been conducted to investigate the effects of spot size on the laser induced damage threshold in thin films. Damage was produced by the interference fringes of two beams from a frequency-doubled Nd-YAG laser with a nearly Gaussian spatial profile. Fringes of spacing from 5 to 125?m were used on ZnS, ZrO2 and ThF4/ZnS films. The damage threshold and morphology were observed and are reported.
