Increasing the Laser-Induced Damage Threshold of Optical Components by Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Surface Finishing

In this contribution, a plasma-based approach for finishing optics surfaces is introduced. Experiments were performed on classically manufactured zinc crown glass and sapphire. It is shown that the use of direct dielectric barrier discharge plasma at atmospheric pressure allows the removal of surfac...
