The high-average-power petawatt-class Big Aperture Thulium (BAT) laser concept was proposed to meet the requirements for the next-generation compact particle accelerators. Our previous work reported the laser damage test and modeling of pulse compression gratings designed for the BAT laser and operating at 2 micron wavelength. Notably, we observed blister formation of the underlying layers at low fluences and ablation of the grating pillars at higher fluences. Here we present the measurement and analysis of these bulging damage precursors on the MLD gratings and mirrors using the cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy combined with focused ion beam processing.
