However, the high-power operation required in these systems induces damage to high-reflection (HR) coatings, a challenge that remains not fully understood in the DUV regime due to limitations in laser sources and deposition technologies. This work presents a systematic and comparative study on the laser-induced damage mechanisms of HR coatings with protective layer under nanosecond DUV laser pulses. Theoretical models incorporating standing-wave electric field distribution, thermomechanical stress, and the effects of defects are developed. Comparative experiments are conducted on dielectric HR coatings exposed to 193\u00a0nm (25\u00a0ns) and 248\u00a0nm (13\u00a0ns) excimer lasers, evaluating damage thresholds, morphologies, and the protective role of capping layers. Results show that damage progresses incrementally with increasing laser pulse fluence and count. Among the coatings studied, the LaF\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    \/AlF\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    HR coating exhibits better damage resistance compared to the Al\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    O\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    \/MgF\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    coating.

These findings provide critical insights into DUV laser damage mechanisms, offer practical guidance for HR coating selection, and establish a reference for future studies on DUV laser-induced damage.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1364\/ao.606920","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,15]],"date-time":"2026-09-15T17:00:07Z","timestamp":1789491607000},"page":"10143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1364\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparative study of laser-induced damage on\u00a0deep ultraviolet high-reflection coatings with\u00a0protective layers"],"prefix":"10.1364","volume":"65","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3769-1549","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Enlong","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05d2yfz11","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}]},{"name":"Advanced Laser Technology Laboratory of Anhui Province"},{"name":"Nanhu Laser Laboratory"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05d2yfz11","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}]},{"name":"Advanced Laser Technology Laboratory of Anhui Province"},{"name":"Nanhu Laser Laboratory"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05d2yfz11","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}]},{"name":"Advanced Laser Technology Laboratory of Anhui Province"},{"name":"Nanhu Laser Laboratory"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05d2yfz11","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}]},{"name":"Advanced Laser Technology Laboratory of Anhui Province"},{"name":"Nanhu Laser Laboratory"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"285","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ao-65-29-10143-R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"100801","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hedp.2020.100801","type":"journal-article","volume":"36","author":"Wolford","year":"2020","journal-title":"High Energy Density Phys."},{"key":"ao-65-29-10143-R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"542","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-021-04281-w","type":"journal-article","volume":"601","author":"Zylstra","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ao-65-29-10143-R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"046011","DOI":"10.1088\/1741-4326\/abd073","type":"journal-article","volume":"61","author":"Badziak","year":"2021","journal-title":"Nucl.
