摘要:
This invention relates to an excimer laser oscillation apparatus which has a laser chamber (20) which stores a laser gas containing a gas mixture of at least one inert gas selected from the group consisting of Kr, Ar, and Ne, and F 2 gas, and in which an inner surface thereof has a reflection-free surface (3) with respect to light of a desired wavelength of 248 nm, 193 nm, or 157 nm, and the uppermost surface of the inner surface consists of a fluoride, an optical resonator which is made up of a pair of reflection mirrors (5,6) arranged to sandwich the laser chamber (20) therebetween, and in which the reflectance of the reflection mirror (6) on the output side is 90% or more and microwave introduction means (300,303,302), arranged on the laser chamber (20), for continuously exciting the laser gas in the laser chamber (20).
摘要:
An excimer laser gas in a laser tube 2 is excited by a microwave introduced from awaveguide 1, and electric field concentration occurs in a slit-shaped gap 3 provided in a plate member 11c, causing plasma discharge. Then the phase of plasma light is regulated and the light is resonated, to cause excimer laser light. This construction realizes plasma excitation entirely uniform along a lengthwise direction of laser light emission, and enables uniform laser light emission with minimum energy loss.

摘要:
In a slot array structure, electromagnetic wave emission which is uniform as a whole over the length of a laser tube is realized to allow uniform laser emission with minimum energy loss. Slots (10) are formed at a predetermined pitch in a long end face (H plane) of each waveguide (1) along a central line (m) in the longitudinal direction of the H plane to be alternately located on the left and right sides of the central line (m) and spaced apart from the central line (m) by a distance (d).
