Full Aperture CO2 Laser Process to Improve Laser Damage Resistance of Fused Silica Optical Surface

An improved method is presented to scan the full-aperture optical surface rapidly by using galvanometer steering mirrors. In contrast to the previous studies, the scanning velocity is faster by several orders of magnitude. The velocity is chosen to allow little thermodeposition thus providing small...
