Abstract: A faceted reflector (32, 32″) for receiving an incident radiation beam (2) and directing a reflected radiation beam at a target. The faceted reflector comprises a plurality of facets, each of the plurality of facets comprising a reflective surface. The reflective surfaces of each of a first subset of the plurality of facets define respective parts of a first continuous surface and are arranged to reflect respective first portions of the incident radiation beam in a first direction to provide a first portion of the reflected radiation beam. The reflective surfaces of each of a second subset of the plurality of facets define respective parts of a second continuous surface and are arranged to reflect respective second portions of the incident radiation beam in a second direction to provide a second portion of the reflected radiation beam.

Abstract: A source collector apparatus for use in a lithographic apparatus includes a fuel droplet generator configured in use to generate a stream of fuel droplets directed from an outlet of the fuel droplet generator towards a plasma formation location. In order to prevent droplet satellites from interfering with plasma formation, a gas supply is provided that in use provides a flow of gas (e.g., hydrogen) that deflects any droplet satellites out of the fuel droplet stream. Additionally, a detection apparatus may be provided as part of a shroud to determine the point at which coalescence of fuel droplets occurs thereby providing an indication of the likelihood of satellite droplets being present in the fuel droplet stream.

Abstract: A radiation system to generate a radiation emitting plasma, the radiation system include a fuel emitter to provide a fuel target at a plasma formation region, a first laser arranged to provide a first laser beam at the plasma formation region incident on the fuel target to generate a radiation emitting plasma, an imaging device arranged to obtain a first image of the radiation emitting plasma at the plasma formation region, the first image indicating at least one image property of the radiation emitting plasma, and a controller. The controller is arranged to receive the first image, and to generate at least one instruction based on the at least one image property of the radiation emitting plasma to modify operation of at least one component of the radiation system to reduce a detrimental effect of debris.
