Abstract: A topography measurement system comprising a radiation source configured to generate a radiation beam, a spatially coded grating configured to pattern the radiation beam and thereby provide a spatially coded radiation beam, optics configured to form an image of the spatially coded grating at a target location on a substrate, detection optics configured to receive radiation re-fleeted from the target location of the substrate and form an image of the grating image at a second grating, and a detector configured to receive radiation transmitted through the second grating and produce an output signal.

Abstract: A mode control system and method for controlling an output mode of a broadband radiation source including a photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The mode control system includes at least one detection unit configured to measure one or more parameters of radiation emitted from the broadband radiation source to generate measurement data, and a processing unit configured to evaluate mode purity of the radiation emitted from the broadband radiation source, from the 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 the broadband radiation source. The one or more pump coupling conditions relate to the coupling of a pump laser beam with respect to a fiber core of the photonic crystal fiber.

Abstract: 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 and includes a light emitting diode to produce to the 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.

Abstract: A light combiner (500) for use in a metrology tool includes a plurality of light sources (LED 1, LED 2, LED 3, LED 4, LED 5), a first filter (502), and a second filter (504). The first filter is designed to substantially reflect light generated from a first source of the plurality of light sources, and to substantially transmit light generated from a second source of the plurality of light sources. The second filter is designed to substantially reflect light generated from the first source and the second source of the plurality of light sources, and to substantially transmit light generated from a third source of the plurality of light sources. An angle of incidence of the light generated from the first source on a surface of the first filter is less than 30 degrees.

Abstract: A radiation source arrangement including: a radiation source operable to generate source radiation including source energy pulses; and at least one non-linear energy-filter operable to filter the source radiation to obtain filtered radiation including filtered energy pulses. The at least one non-linear energy-filter is operable to mitigate variation in energy in the filtered radiation by reducing the energy level of the source energy pulses which have an energy level corresponding to one of both extremities of an energy distribution of the source energy pulses by a greater amount than the source energy pulses which have an energy level corresponding to a peak of the energy distribution.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a capillary usable as part of a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. The method includes obtaining a capillary having capillary wall including a first wall thickness; and chemically etching the capillary wall to reduce the wall thickness of the capillary wall. During performance of the etching, a control parameter is locally varied along the length of the capillary, the control parameter relating to reactivity of an etchant used in the etching, so as to control the etched wall thickness of the capillary wall along the capillary length. Also disclosed is a capillary manufactured by such a method and various devices including such a capillary.
