Abstract
This is a reminiscence of where things stood in the laser damage problem at the time when the laser reached its 10th birthday. All of the different types of lasers that we know today had been demonstrated and those that could reach high power were shown to destroy the optics used in the resonators or to manipulate the high power beams. If high power lasers were to be useful the problem of laser damage had to be solved but first it had to be understood.
