摘要： A preionization device for a gas laser comprises an internal preionization electrode having a dielectric housing around it and an external preionization electrode displaced from the dielectric housing by a small gap. The dielectric housing includes two cylindrical regions of differing outer radii of curvature. An open end of the housing has a larger radius of curvature than the other end which is closed. The internal electrode connects to circuitry external to the discharge chamber via a conductive feedthrough which penetrates through the housing. The external circuitry prevents voltage oscillations caused by residual energy stored as capacitance in the dielectric housing. The external preionization electrode, which is connected electrically to one of the main discharge electrodes, is formed to shield the internal preionization electrode from the other main discharge electrode to prevent arcing therebetween. The external electrode is also formed to shield the outer gas volume and walls of the discharge chamber from the preionization unit. A semi-transparent external electrode prevents charged particles emanating from the main discharge area from settling on the housing and causing field distortion and discharge instabilities.

摘要： A laser for an excimer or molecular fluorine laser includes an electrode chamber connected with a gas flow vessel and having a pair of main electrodes and a preionization unit each connected to a discharge circuit. A spoiler is provided within the electrode chamber and is shaped to provide a more uniform gas flow through the discharge area between the main electrodes, to shield one of the preionization units from one of the main electrodes, and to reflect acoustic waves generated in the discharge area into the gas flow vessel for absorption therein. A spoiler unit may include a pair of opposed spoiler elements on either side of the discharge area. One or both main electrodes includes a base portion and a center portion which may be a nipple protruding from the base portion. The center portion substantially carries the periodic discharge current such that the discharge width is and may be significantly less than the width of the base portion. The curvatures of both main electrodes may conform to the curvature of the gas flow through the discharge chamber to further improve aerodynamic performance. A plurality of low inductive conducting ribs are connected to the grounded main electrode and shaped to provide a more uniform flow of gases through openings defined between adjacent ribs.

摘要： A molecular fluorine (F.sub.2) laser is provided wherein the gas mixture comprises molecular fluorine for generating a spectral emission including two or three closely spaced lines around 157 nm. An etalon provides line selection such that the output beam only includes one of these lines. The etalon may also serve to outcouple the beam and/or narrow the selected line. Alternatively, a prism provides the line selection and the etalon narrows the selected line. The etalon may be a resonator reflector which also selects a line, while another element outcouples the beam. The etalon plates, preferably uncoated, comprise a material that is transparent at 157 nm, such as CaF.sub.2, MgF.sub.2, LiF.sub.2, BaF.sub.2, SrF.sub.2, quartz and fluorine doped quartz. The etalon plates are separated by spacers comprising a material having a low thermal expansion constant, such as invar, zerodur.RTM., ultra low expansion glass, and quartz. A gas such as helium or a solid such as CaF.sub.2 that does not absorb radiation 157 nm fills the gap between the etalon plates, or the gap is evacuated. The gas mixture preferably further includes neon as a buffer gas. Another etalon may be used for line narrowing. One or more of a highly reflective mirror, a high finesse etalon or a prism with a highly reflective back surface may serve as a highly reflective resonator reflector. Any of one or more etalons, a prism, a brewster plate and a highly or partially reflective mirror may seal the laser discharge chamber.

摘要： Output beam parameters of a gas discharge laser are stabilized by maintaining a molecular fluorine component at a predetermined partial pressure using a gas supply unit and a processor. The molecular fluorine is subject to depletion within the discharge chamber. Gas injections including molecular fluorine can increase the partial pressure of molecular fluorine by a selected amount. The injections can be performed at selected intervals to maintain the constituent gas substantially at the initial partial pressure. The amount per injection and/or the interval between injections can be varied, based on factors such as driving voltage and a calculated amount of molecular fluorine in the discharge chamber. The driving voltage can be in one of multiple driving voltage ranges that are adjusted based on system aging. Within each range, gas injections and gas replacements can be performed based on, for example, total applied electrical energy or time/pulse count.

摘要： An excimer or molecular fluorine laser system includes a laser tube filled with a gas mixture including fluorine and a buffer gas, and multiple electrodes within the laser tube connected with a pulsed discharge circuit for energizing the gas mixture. At least one of the electrodes is longer than 28 inches in length, preferably two main electrodes are each extended to greater than 28 inches in length. The laser system further includes a resonator including the laser tube for generating a pulsed laser beam having a desired energy. The laser system is configured such that an output beam would be emitted having an energy below the desired energy if each of the electrodes were 28 inches in length or less, and the laser system outputs a beam at the desired energy due to the length of the electrodes being extended to a length greater than 28 inches.

摘要： A line-narrowing module for a laser includes a prism beam expander and a grating preferably attached to a heat sink. A pressure-controlled enclosure filled with an inert gas seals the grating and/or other elements of the line-narrowing module. The pressure in the enclosure is adjusted for tuning the wavelength. Preferably, the pressure is controlled by controlling the flow of an inert gas through the enclosure. A pump may be used, or an overpressure flow may be used. Alternatively, a prism of the beam expander or an etalon may be rotatable for tuning the wavelength.
