With the development of high power laser systems, laser protection of optical components becomes more and more important. In order to enhance the laser-induced damage capability of optical films components, besides advanced methods and processes, post-treatment has significant influence on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of thin films. Q switch Nd:YAG laser of the working wave length at 1064nm, was used to post process on ZnSe single layer films with thickness of /2 (=1064nm) deposited by thermal evaporation, and the laser-induced damage and optical properties were investigated. By changing the energy density and pulse number under the spot size remained a fixed value, their effects on thin films damage threshold were studied respectively, the optimal processing parameters were obtained: energy density is 3.0 J/cm2 and pulse number is 1.The LIDT of post processed ZnSe films was improved from 5.0J/cm2 to 8.2J/cm2.

ArF excimer laser is the main light resource for the microlithography technology. In the laser cavity, the optical components with lowest absorption and scattering loss are necessary. As a consequence only a few materials are promising candidates for 193nm coatings with high transmittance or high reflectance. Fluoride films exhibit relatively low optical loss as well as high laser induced damage thresholds. The potentiality of LaF3 and MgF2 is evaluated in respect of the production of improved optical coatings for applications. For this purpose, single layer is prepared by thermal evaporation at the deposited temperatures of 523K on Fused Silica. A first order bulk inhomogeneity model for extracting the optical constants of weak absorbing film is applied, which is based on spectrophotometry. Refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k) of the optimal LaF3 film are 1.678 and 2.24×10-3 at 193nm. In the case of the optimal MgF2 film, n and k are 1.443 and 4.72×10-4 at 193nm. High reflection (HR) LaF3/MgF2 coatings are designed and fabricated for normal incident on CaF2. The experimental results indicate that after coated and fluoride coatings deposit, according to optimal process, can have more suitable optical properties at deep ultraviolet (DUV), the reflectance of HR coatings reaches more than 98% at 193nm.

Material changes and Sub-Surface Damage (SSD) under Laser Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) testing sites were investigated on 3 diverse single layer coated transparent fused silica samples to obtain additional information on damage precursors on these samples. As a detection method, photothermal deflection technique utilizing a resonant UV laser beam was used. The local variations in UV absorption and probe beam transmittance due to previous exposure to high fluence laser pulses were strongly dependent on the coating itself and on the laser energy used during the LIDT testing. Also the obtained LIDT values differ from coating to coating. Detected effects on the coatings and substrate surface beneath ranged from small surface dislocations to complete coating damage with material transformations. Additional absorbing damage precursors were found close to the damaged sites.
