Abstract
Summary form only given. Near-grazing-incidence reflection from glass surfaces presents a possible means of construction of high-damage-threshold far-field apertures (pinholes) needed for isolation and beam cleanup in glass laser fusion systems. We have measured the angular dependence of the damage threshold of Schott absorbing filter glass.
