Abstract
The catastrophic optical mirror damage (COMD) process at the front facets of 808 and 650 nm edge-emitting broad-area semiconductor lasers is addressed with focus on two aspects. Firstly, there is the methodological request to make the process measurable, i.e. to spatially and temporally resolve it. Secondly, the microscopic processes accompanying the COMD are discussed in line with recent experiments.
