Abstract
We review a simple model of laser damage in the context of Hamiltonian Chaos. A novel method of finding the last KAM is presented, based on a convergence theorem of continued fractions. The critical value of the field corresponding to the destruction of the last KAM is obtained. This value compares very well with the one obtained from the phase space plots.
