Investigation of Control of Residual Stress Induced by CO2 Laser-Based Damage Mitigation of Fused Silica Optics
A CO2 laser-based annealing technique for the mitigation of damaged sites of fused silica is studied to suppress the residual stress left on the surface. The laser annealing by a linear decrease of the CO2 laser power effectively reduces the residual stress. The residual stress of mitigated sites is...
