Description
The ICAN laser proposal aims for multi-100 kW of average power. Optical Components handling such power have to be identified in the future. In this contribution, the relevant components and their power handling is reviewed. Additionally, the physical background for thermal- and nonlinear limitations are given and strategies and perspectives of reducing these effects are discussed.
