Abstract

This paper quantifies the measurement quality, Q, of three test procedures by simulating a series of correlation experiments and employing a Monte Carlo technique. The three methods compared are the ISO standard damage frequency method (DFM), the DFM yielding the highest Q (optimal DFM) and a modified DFM. For each trial, two values of the normalized damage threshold and uncertainty are derived via a PC spreadsheet based Monte Carlo simulation. To simulate various sets of real optics, the normalized results are multiplied by a set of uniformly distributed random numbers which are unique to each trial. The slope of the correlation line for each test procedure is determined via a weighted linear regression, and recorded. The output of the model is a frequency distribution of the slopes of the correlation lines for each procedure. Comparing the distributions of the slopes of the correlations is a direct measure of Q² for each test procedure. It is shown that a revised DFM results in a much higher likelihood of making an accurate measurement with a given precision.
