Abstract: An investigation was made of the optical strength of dielectric (LaF₃ + MgF₂) mirrors in a xenon-laser resonator (λ = 172.5 nm). When these mirrors were used, the maximum power density (> 120 MW/cm²) exceeded considerably the damage threshold reported earlier for metal-dielectric (Al + MgF₂) mirrors.
