Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an excimer laser system. A master oscillator chamber may generate laser pulses with a narrowed line width and a small energy by means of a line width narrowing module, as a seed light. The seed light is refracted by a master oscillator wavefront engineering box and then incident into a power amplifier chamber through a beam splitting system. The beam splitting system, a first high reflectance mirror, a second high reflectance mirror and a third high reflectance mirror may constitute a quadrilateral annular optical path, The power amplifier chamber may have a first pair of Brewster windows and a second pair of Brewster windows, wherein the first pair of Brewster windows is located in a first optical path of the annular optical path along with a discharging electrode of the power amplifier chamber, and the second pair of Brewster windows is located in a second optical path of annular optical path which is parallel to a first amplification optical path. The present disclosure reduces the length of a ring cavity of an excimer laser system with a ring cavity structure, increasing the amplification times and achieving a deeper gain saturation amplification than a traditional structure, thereby improving the output characteristic of the excimer laser system.
Abstract:
The present disclosure proposes a flow guide device for a discharge cavity having a symmetrical configuration and including two pairs of electrodes; the flow guide device comprises two rotors which correspond to one pair of the two pairs of electrodes, respectively, installed positions of which are symmetrical about a symmetrical plane of the discharge cavity and is beneath the electrodes, a rotational axis of which is parallel to an axial direction of the electrodes which is parallel to a base plane of the discharge cavity, and the two rotors have opposite rotation directions and identical rotation speeds. The flow guide device further comprises a spoiler plate and a flow guide plate so that the discharge gas flow passes through the discharge cavity in a manner of high speed and uniform cycling when flowing through the discharge region. Thus, the discharge quality is guaranteed so as to improve the energy and reliability of the laser.
