Abstract: An optical module is configured to pass an optical beam. The optical module includes: a plurality of lenses through which the optical beam passes, the plurality of lenses including at least one aspheric toroid lens; and an optical mount apparatus in which the plurality of lenses is mounted. The plurality of lenses is placed relative to a linearly focused curtain of the optical beam, the linearly focused curtain intersecting a region of interest. The optical mount apparatus is arranged in or fixed to a wall of a chamber of an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source such that an optical path is defined that passes through the EUV light source chamber and intersects the region of interest inside the chamber.

Abstract: In a laser-produced plasma (LPP) extreme ultraviolet (EUV) system, laser pulses are used to produce EUV light. To determine the energy of individual laser pulses, a photoelectromagnetic (PEM) detector is calibrated to a power meter using a calibration coefficient. When measuring a unitary laser beam comprising pulses of a single wavelength, the calibration coefficient is calculated based on a burst of the pulses. A combined laser beam has main pulses of a first wavelength alternating with pre-pulses pulses of a second wavelength. To calculate the energy of the main pulses in the combined laser beam, the calibration coefficient calculated for a unitary laser beam of the main pulses is used. To calculate the energy of the pre-pulses in the combined laser beam, a new calibration coefficient is calculated. When the calculated energy values drift beyond a pre-defined threshold, the calibration coefficients are recalculated.
