摘要: Disclosed is a polarization control system and method. The system controls the output polarization of a broadband light source comprising a waveguide. The system comprises at least one detection unit configured to measure one or more parameters of radiation emitted from said broadband light source to generate measurement data; and comprises a processing unit configured to infer a polarization property of said radiation emitted from said broadband light source from said measurement data. Based on the evaluation, the polarization control system generates a control signal for optimization of the pump polarization conditions of said broadband light source. The pump polarization conditions relating to the coupling of a pump laser beam with respect to a fiber axis of the photonic crystal fiber.

摘要: Disclosed is a mode control system and method for controlling an output mode of a broadband light source comprising a photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The mode control system comprises at least one detection unit configured to measure one or more parameters of radiation emitted from said broadband light source to generate measurement data; and a processing unit configured to evaluate mode purity of said radiation emitted from said broadband light source, from said measurement data. Based on the evaluation, the mode control system is configured to generate a control signal for optimization of one or more pump coupling conditions of said broadband light source. The pump coupling conditions relate to the coupling of a pump laser beam with respect to a fiber core of the photonic crystal fiber.

摘要: A topography measurement system includes a radiation source; a first grating; imaging optics; a movement mechanism; detection optics; a second grating; and a detector. The radiation source is configured to generate a radiation beam including ultraviolet radiation and includes a light emitting diode to produce to ultraviolet radiation. The first grating is configured to pattern the radiation beam. The imaging optics is configured to form a first image of the first grating at a target location on a substrate. The movement mechanism is operable to move the substrate relative to the image of the first grating such that the target location moves relative to the substrate. The detection optics is configured to receive radiation from the target location of the substrate and form an image of the first image at the second grating. The detector is configured to receive radiation transmitted through the second grating and produce an output signal.
