    摘要: A laser device includes a seed laser, an amplifier, a detector, and an optical element arranged to direct radiation emitted by the seed laser towards a plasma generation site. The optical element is arranged to direct towards the detector amplified spontaneous emission radiation which has been emitted by the seed laser and has been reflected from a droplet of fuel material. The detector is arranged to trigger generation of a laser radiation pulse by the seed laser when the reflected amplified spontaneous emission radiation is detected.

    摘要: A radiation source is configured to generate extreme ultraviolet radiation. The radiation source includes a fuel supply configured to supply a fuel to a plasma formation site; a laser configured to emit a beam of radiation to the plasma formation site so that a plasma that emits extreme ultraviolet radiation is generated when the beam of radiation impacts the fuel; a fuel particulate interceptor constructed and arranged to shield at least part of the radiation source from fuel particulates that are emitted by the plasma, the fuel particulate interceptor comprising a first portion and a second portion, the second portion being positioned closer to the plasma formation site than the first portion, and the first portion being rotatable; and a fuel particulate remover constructed and arranged to remove fuel particulates from a surface of the fuel particulate interceptor and to direct the fuel particulates towards a collection location.

    摘要: An EUV radiation source that includes a fuel supply configured to supply fuel to a plasma formation location. The fuel supply includes a reservoir configured to hold fuel at a temperature that is sufficiently high to maintain the fuel in liquid form, and a pressure vessel configured to contain the reservoir, the pressure vessel being at least partially thermally isolated from the reservoir. The EUV radiation source also includes a laser radiation source configured to irradiate fuel supplied by the fuel supply at the plasma formation location.

    摘要: An EUV radiation generation apparatus includes a laser configured to generate pulses of laser radiation, and an optical isolation apparatus that includes a rotatably mounted reflector and a radially positioned reflector. The rotatably mounted reflector and the laser are synchronized such that a reflective surface of the rotatably mounted reflector is in optical communication with the radially positioned reflector when the optical isolation apparatus receives a pulse of laser radiation to allow the pulse of laser radiation to pass to a plasma formation location and cause a radiation emitting plasma to be generated via vaporization of a droplet of fuel material. The rotatably mounted reflector and the laser are further synchronized such that the reflective surface of the rotatably mounted reflector is at least partially optically isolated from the radially positioned reflector when the optical isolation apparatus receives radiation reflected from the plasma formation location.
