The laser-induced damage performance of KDP and DKDP nonlinear crystals following pre-exposure to lower-energy laser pulses (laser annealing, also known as laser conditioning) is investigated as a function of wavelength for both, the damaging and conditioning pulses. To obtain a quantitative evaluation of damage performance of the material, we measure the density of damage events as a function of laser parameters. This new method allows for a detailed assessment of the improvement of material performance from laser conditioning and reveals the key parameters for optimizing performance depending on the operational wavelength.
