    摘要: A method of modifying polarity of light is provided. The light propagates through a first transverse plane and has known polarization states in respective cells of the first transverse plane. A first retardation compensator having respective waveplates matching the cells then changes the polarity of the light so that light propagating through a second transverse plane is circularly polarized across the entire second transverse plane. A second retardation compensator includes a plurality of quarter waveplates that change the polarization of the circularly polarized light, so that light passing through a third transverse plane is linearly polarized. The crystal alignment of the quarter waveplates and their shape and configuration are selected so that the direction of the polarization is normal to a radius from a single point.

    摘要: A free electron laser is disclosed. The free electron laser separates pulse bunching at a first electron energy from light generation stage at a second electron energy. A first wiggler pulse bunches the electrons and a second wiggler generates light. The first wiggler may be an optical buncher with an injected seed wave, and the second wiggler can be a magnetic wiggler, optical wiggler, resonant transition radiator, parametric radiation radiator, Cerenkov radiation radiator or a Smith-Purcell radiation radiator. The disclosed free electron laser is particularly useful for lithography applications at an extreme ultraviolet wavelength range near 13.5 nm.

    摘要: A superconductor-based modulator includes a superconductor coupled to a cold reservoir to receive extreme ultra-violet (EUV) light beams. The light beams are modulated by altering transmission and reflection properties of the superconductor. Magnetic field, temperature, or a combination of both, may be used to control the superconducting properties of the superconductor. The modulator may perform temporal, spatial, and grey-scale modulations. The surface of the superconductor may be patterned with heat or infrared radiation to facilitate light focusing.

    摘要: According to one aspect of the invention, a method and apparatus for polarizing electromagnetic radiation is provided. The electromagnetic radiation may be divided into first and second portions, substantially all of the first portion may be linearly polarized in a first direction and substantially all of the second portion may be linearly polarized in a second direction, the first direction being substantially orthogonal to the second direction. The linear polarization of at least one of the first and second portions may be changed such that substantially all of both of the first and second portions are linearly polarized in a third direction. At least one of the first and second portions may be redirected such that substantially all of both the first and second portions are propagating in a fourth direction.
