摘要： A high resolution spectral measurement device. A preferred embodiment presents an extremely narrow slit function in the ultraviolet range and is very useful for measuring bandwidth of narrow-band excimer lasers used for integrated circuit lithography. Light from the laser is focused into a diffuser and the diffused light exiting the diffuser illuminates an etalon. A portion of its light exiting the etalon is collected and directed into a slit positioned at a fringe pattern of the etalon. Light passing through the slit is collimated and the collimated light illuminates a grating positioned in an approximately Littrow configuration which disburses the light according to wavelength. A portion of the dispursed light representing the wavelength corresponding to the selected etalon fringe is passed through a second slit and monitored by a light detector. When the etalon and the grating are tuned to the same precise wavelength a slit function is defined which is extremely narrow such as about 0.034 pm (FWHM) and about 0.091 pm (95 percent integral). The bandwidth of a laser beam can be measured very accurately by a directing portion of the laser beam into the insulator and scanning the laser wavelength over a range which includes the monochromator slit wavelength. In a second embodiment the second slit and the light detector is replaced by a photodiod array and the bandwidth of a laser beam is determined by analyzing a set of scan data from the photodiode array. Alternately, the laser wavelength can be fixed near the middle of the spectrum range of the grating spectrometer, and the etalon can be scanned.

摘要： A narrow band F2 laser system having two laser subsystems. The first laser subsystem is configured to provide a very narrow band pulsed beam at a first narrow wavelength range corresponding to a first natural emission line of the F2 laser system. This beam is injected into the gain medium of the second laser subsystem in a first direction where the beam is amplified to produce a narrow band pulsed output beam. The seed laser subsystem also produces a second pulsed beam at a second wavelength range corresponding to a second natural emission line of the F2 laser. This line is injected into the gain medium of the second laser subsystem in a second direction opposite said first direction. The second beam is amplified in the gain medium of the second laser subsystem depleting the gain medium of gain potential at the second wavelength range. (This amplified second beam is preferably wasted.) With the gain potential at the second undesired wavelength the range thus reduced the portion of light at the second wavelength range in the output beam is greatly reduced.

摘要： The present invention provides a narrow band laser system having two laser subsystems. The first laser subsystem is configured to provide a very narrow band pulsed output beam which is used to injection seed the second laser subsystem where the narrow band pulsed seed beam is amplified to produce a narrow band pulsed output beam. A pulse power supply is provided which is specially configured to precisely time the discharges in the two laser subsystem so that the discharges are properly synchronized. The laser gas comprises F2 at a partial pressure less than about 1% with a buffer gas comprised of helium or neon or a combination of helium and neon. Control of center wavelength of the output beam is provided by adjusting one or more of the following parameters in the first laser: the total laser gas pressure, the relative concentration of helium or neon, F2 partial pressure, laser gas temperature, discharge voltage and pulse energy.
