Abstract

This paper presents the procedure and apparatus used to laser condition meter-scale HfO₂/SiO₂ multilayer polarizers which will be used in the Beamlet laser system. A study of different conditioning techniques, the effects of conditioning, and the determination of a practical process for conditioning large-area optics is presented.
