Femtosecond laser conditioning to enhance the ultraviolet laser-induced damage resistance of HfO2 thin films.

Hafnium oxide (HfO2) thin films are widely used in high-power laser coatings. However, enhancing their laser-induced damage resistance remains challenging, primarily due to intrinsic defects such as oxygen vacancies, which can lead to increased absor…
