Laser is suitable for characterization of optical coatings.

Maximum pulse energy 20 mJ, (20 W average power), central wavelength 1064 nm, pulse duration < 8 - 11 ns and 1 kHz pulse repetition rate.
An equipment set for measuring laser radiation temporal, spatial and energetic parameters is also used. It consists of universal Ophir power meters and thermopile-type power measurement heads, a Spiricon 190-1100 nm spectral range CCD camera, an HM2005 200 MHz bandwidth analog oscilloscope and a TDS3032C 300 MHz bandwidth digital oscilloscope, and photodiodes.
