摘要： A laser includes a regenerative ring resonator that includes a discharge chamber having electrodes and a gain medium between the electrodes for producing a laser beam; a partially-reflective optical coupler, and a beam modification optical system in the path of the laser beam. The beam modification optical system transversely expands a profile of the laser beam such that the near field laser beam profile uniformly fills each aperture within the laser and such that the regenerative ring resonator remains either conditionally stable or marginally unstable when operating the laser at powers that induce thermal lenses in optical elements inside the regenerative ring resonator.

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： A high resolution etalon-grating monochromator. 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 monochromator and scanning the laser wavelength over a range which includes the monochromator slit wavelength.
