    Abstract: A collector optic assembly for a EUV radiation source. The collector optic assembly includes an elliptical meniscus having a reflective Si/Mo coating for collecting and reflecting EUV radiation generated by the source. The meniscus is machined from a single piece of silicon. The collector optic assembly further includes a heat exchanger that includes cooling channels through which flows a liquid coolant. The heat exchanger is fabricated from a plurality of machined silicon sections fused together by a glass frit bonding process. The meniscus is fused to a front side of the heat exchanger by a glass frit bonding process. A liquid coolant inlet manifold and a liquid coolant outlet manifold are also each machined from a single silicon block and are mounted to a back side of the heat exchanger.

    Abstract: An EUV collector for collecting and transmitting radiation from an EUV radiation source includes at least one collector mirror for reflecting an emission of the EUV radiation source, which is rotationally symmetric with respect to a central axis. The EUV collector also includes a cooling device for cooling the at least one collector mirror. The cooling device has at least one cooling element, which has a course with respect to the collector mirror, in each case, such that the projection of the course into a plane perpendicular to the central axis has a main direction, which encloses an angle of at most 20° with respect to a predetermined preferred direction. The collector transmits improved quality radiation to illuminate an object field.

    Abstract: A device for UV curing a coating or printed ink on an workpiece such as an optical fiber comprises dual elliptical reflectors arranged to have a co-located focus. The workpiece is centered at the co-located focus such that the dual elliptical reflectors are disposed on opposing sides of the workpiece. Two separate light sources are positioned at a second focus of each elliptical reflector, wherein light irradiated from the light sources is substantially concentrated onto the surface of the workpiece at the co-located focus.
