Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to laser produced plasma light sources having a target material, such as Xenon, that is coated on the outer surface of a drum. Embodiments include bearing systems for rotating the drum that have structures for reducing leakage of contaminant material and/or bearing gas into the LPP chamber. Injection systems are disclosed for coating and replenishing target material on the drum. Wiper systems are disclosed for preparing the target material surface on the drum, e.g. smoothing the target material surface. Systems for cooling and maintaining the temperature of the drum and a housing overlying the drum are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a device having a nozzle for dispensing a liquid target material; one or more intermediary chamber(s), each intermediary chamber positioned to receive target material and formed with an exit aperture to output target material for downstream irradiation in a laser produced plasma (LPP) chamber. In some disclosed embodiments, control systems are included for controlling one or more of gas temperature, gas pressure and gas composition in one, some or all of a device's intermediary chamber(s). In one embodiment, an intermediary chamber having an adjustable length is disclosed.

Abstract: A flat top laser beam is used to generate an electron beam with a photocathode that can include an alkali halide. The flat top profile can be generated using an optical array. The laser beam can be split into multiple laser beams or beamlets, each of which can have the flat top profile. A phosphor screen can be imaged to determine space charge effects or electron energy of the electron beam.
