A significant enhancement of the single-shot laser-induced damage threshold of CaF2 and fused silica and a moderate enhancement for GaAs and Al has been observed as the result of laser annealing using an excimer laser operating at 248 nm. This phenomenon is primarily attributed to a reduction of the residual surface roughness of the samples.
