Beam homogenizer, laser irradiation apparatus, and laser irradiation method
Abstract:
An effect of interference is eliminated and intensity of a laser beam is homogenized. The beam homogenizer 100 includes reflecting mirrors 103 and 104 which are provided so that reflecting surfaces thereof face each other. The laser beam LB propagates through a space between the reflecting mirrors 103 and 104 while being reflected therebetween, so that intensity distribution of the laser beam LB is homogenized, but the laser beam LB also interferes. The first reflecting mirror 103 and the second reflecting mirror 104 are oscillated in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the laser beam LB is scanned, intensity distribution of the laser beam LB in an oscillation direction is temporally averaged.
