    摘要: A radiation source for generating EUV from a stream of molten metal fuel droplets by LPP (Laser Produced Plasma) or (Dual Laser Plasma) has a fuel droplet generator arranged to provide a stream of droplets of fuel and at least one laser configured to vaporise at least some of said droplets of fuel, whereby radiation is generated. The fuel droplet generator has nozzle, fuel supply line, and reservoir, with a pumping device arranged to supply a flow of molten metal fuel from the reservoir through the fuel feed line and out of the nozzle as a stream of droplets. The fuel droplet generator has a replaceable filter assembly in the fuel feed line, arranged to filter the molten metal fuel in use, to deter nozzle blockage by solid particulate impurities in the fuel.

    摘要: On a film where an exposure material coating has been formed in a exposure pattern formation region on a film base material, a colored firing material, colored light-curable material, or colored ink is applied to at least one of two widthwise side edges to form a side part application coating, which is irradiated with laser light by an alignment mark formation unit to form an alignment mark. The alignment mark is then used to detect film meandering and adjust the positions of masks. This makes it easy to form the alignment mark and detect the alignment mark thus formed and makes it possible to accurately correct for meandering of a film and stably expose the film in the process of continuous exposure of a film where an exposure material coating has been formed in a exposure pattern formation region on a film base material.

    摘要: Compositions capable of simultaneous two-photon absorption and higher order absorptivities are provided. Compounds having a donor-pi-donor or acceptor-pi-acceptor structure are of particular interest, where the donor is an electron donating group, acceptor is an electron accepting group, and pi is a pi bridge linking the donor and/or acceptor groups. The pi bridge may additionally be substituted with electron donating or withdrawing groups to alter the absorptive wavelength of the structure. Also disclosed are methods of generating an excited state of such compounds through optical stimulation with light using simultaneous absorption of photons of energies individually insufficient to achieve an excited state of the compound, but capable of doing so upon simultaneous absorption of two or more such photons. Applications employing such methods are also provided, including controlled polymerization achieved through focusing of the light source(s) used.
