摘要: A system and method for automatically performing gas optimization after a refill in the chambers of a two chamber gas discharge laser is disclosed. The laser is fired at low power, and the gas in the amplifier laser chamber bled if necessary until the discharge voltage meets or exceeds a minimum value without dropping the pressure below a minimum value. The power output is increased to a burst pattern that approximates the expected operation of the laser, and the amplifier chamber gas bled again if necessary until the voltage and an output energy meet or exceed minimum values, or until the pressure is less than a minimum value. The gas in the master oscillator chamber is then bled if necessary until the output energy of the master oscillator meets or falls below a maximum value, again without dropping the pressure in the chamber below the minimum value. While the pressure is adjusted, bandwidth is also measured and adjusted to stay within a desired range. Once the target values are provided, the process runs quickly without manual interaction.

摘要: There was the problem that the pressure of the laser medium rises from the target value by the heat when generating laser light. The laser oscillator includes a controller, laser medium flow path, resonator part, blower, pressure detecting part, laser medium supply-exhaust part, and temporary stop command part. The controller controls the resonator part to stop to generate laser light if a temporary stop is commanded, controls the blower 18 to slow the rotational speed of the blower from the first rotational speed to the second rotational speed, and controls the laser medium supply-exhaust part so that the pressure is the second target value lower than the pressure at the time when the rotational speed of the blower is the second rotational speed.

摘要: A pulsed light beam emitted from an optical source is received, the pulsed light beam being associated with a temporal repetition rate; a frequency of a disturbance in the optical source is determined, the frequency being an aliased frequency that varies with the temporal repetition rate of the pulsed light beam; a correction waveform is generated based on the aliased frequency; and the disturbance in the optical source is compensated by modifying a characteristic of the pulsed light beam based on the generated correction waveform.
