Study of laser conditioning influence on properties of optical films

For some optical films, laser conditioning is an effective way to improve their damage threshold. The one of popular theoretical model for laser conditioning mechanism is the defectseliminated model. In this paper, the influence of laser conditioning on optical films are analyzed by optical parameters testing of the films before and after laser conditioning. It shows that the process of laser conditioning for optical films is the films defectseliminated, solidified and cleaned process.
