    摘要： A method and apparatus if disclosed which may comprise a high power high repetition rate gas discharge laser UV light source which may comprise: a gas discharge chamber comprising an interior wall comprising a vertical wall and an adjacent bottom wall; a gas circulation fan creating a gas flow path adjacent the interior vertical wall and the adjacent bottom wall; an in-chamber dust trap positioned a region of low gas flow, which may be along an interior wall and may comprise at least one meshed screen, e.g., a plurality of meshed screens, which may comprise at least two different gauge meshed screens. The dust trap may extend along the bottom interior wall of the chamber and/or a vertical portion of the interior wall. The dust trap may comprise a first meshed screen having a first gauge; a second meshed screen having a second gauge smaller than the first gauge; and the second meshed screen intermediate the first meshed screen and the interior wall. The chamber may comprise a plurality of dust collecting recesses in at least one of the vertical interior wall and the bottom wall of the chamber which may be selected from a group comprising a one-part recess and a multi-part recess, which may comprise two sections angled with respect to each other. The dust trap may comprise a pressure trap positioned between a portion of a main insulator and an interior wall of the chamber. The chamber may comprise a gas circulating fan comprising a cross-flow fan with a fan cutoff that may comprise a vortex control pocket. The chamber may comprise a preionization mechanism comprising a preionization tub containing a ground rod within an elongated opening in the preionization tube that may comprise a compliant member, an automatic preionization shut-off mechanism, a preionization onset control mechanism and/or a focusing element. The chamber may comprise an elongated baffle plate that may comprise a plurality of pyramidal structures including varying numbers of generally pyramidal elements and oriented in groups of varying numbers of generally pyramidal elements and oriented along and transverse to the longitudinal axis. Acoustic resonances within the chamber may also be reduced by introducing an artificial jitter into the timing of the laser discharges varying the inter-pulse period randomly or in a repeating pattern from pulse to pulse within a burst.

    摘要： A grating based line-narrowing apparatus having a prism beam expander with at least four prisms. Each prism is positioned at an incidence angle between 67 and 71 degrees. A single layer coating of high refractive index, robust material, such as Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, is applied to the hypotenuse face of each prism, providing an efficient, anti-reflection coating. In a preferred embodiment the incident angle of the four prisms are each at about 68.2 degrees. The laser of the preferred embodiment has similar line narrowing efficiency and bandwidth as that for a laser with a 3 prism, ideal multi-layer anti-reflection coated beam expander. The primary benefit of the new four prism arrangement is that the prism coatings should be much less expensive and have greatly increased durability. Applicants have tested the new prisms for 30 million, 10 mJ pulses in air with no noticeable degradation. No present day dielectric multi-layer stack coating could survive such exposure.

    摘要： An overcoat protected diffraction grating. A replica grating having a thin aluminum reflective grating surface is produced by replication of a master grating or a submaster grating. The thin aluminum reflective surface may be cracked or have relatively thick grain boundaries containing oxides and hydroxides of aluminum and typically is also naturally coated with an aluminum oxide film. The grating is subsequently recoated in a vacuum chamber with a thin, pure, dense aluminum overcoat and then also in the vacuum the aluminum overcoat is coated with a thin film of MgF2. The grating is especially suited for use for wavelength selection in an ArF laser operating producing an ultraviolet laser beam at a wavelength of about 193 nm. The oxygen free aluminum overcoat prevents the ultraviolet light from causing damage by stimulating chemical reactions in grating materials under the aluminum grating surface or in the aluminum oxide film. The MgF2 additionally prevents oxidation on the surface, of the aluminum overcoat.
