Abstract
Recently there has been an upsurge of interest in measuring the thermal transport properties of optical coating materials in thin-film format in order to determine by what amount, if any, the coating properties differ from the bulk properties. The motivation for this interest is the possibility that thermal properties may be as important as optical properties in influencing the laser-induced damage threshold.
