Abstract: A radiation beam expander comprises a diverging optic and a converging optic. The diverging optic comprises one or more mirrors for receiving a radiation beam and increasing a divergence of the radiation beam. The converging optic comprising one or more mirrors arranged to receive the radiation beam and to reduce the divergence of the radiation beam. At least one of the one or more mirrors of the diverging optic and/or the converging optic is provided with an actuator arranged to control a curvature of the mirror. This allows the optical power of the diverging optic and/or the converging optic to be controlled independently of the angle at which a radiation beam is incident on the mirrors of said diverging optic or the converging optic. This allows the radiation beam expander to control the divergence of the radiation beam after the diverging and converging optics independently of the orientations and relative positions of the mirrors of the diverging and converging optics.

Abstract: An apparatus for receiving an input radiation beam at a beam receiving location and outputting from the beam receiving location one or more output radiation beams. The apparatus comprises: an optical element; and a movement mechanism. The optical element comprises a plurality of portions for receiving the input radiation beam. The movement mechanism is operable to move the plurality of portions so as selectively position each of the plurality of portions at the beam receiving location. When one of the plurality of portions is disposed in the beam receiving location it is configured to receive the input radiation beam and to scatter the input radiation beam so as to form the one or more output radiation beams. A direction of each of the one or more output radiation beams formed by each of the plurality of portions is substantially the same as a direction of a corresponding output radiation beam formed by each of the other portions. One or more properties of each of the plurality of portions differs from that of the other portions such that a power of at least one of the one or more output radiation beams formed by each of the plurality of portions is different to that of the corresponding output radiation beam formed by at least one of the other portions.

Abstract: A membrane cleaning apparatus for removing particles from a membrane comprises: a membrane support; a controlled environment chamber and cleaning substance delivery mechanism. The particles of the cleaning substance delivered to membrane sublime in the controlled environment without leaving residue. The combination of masks, apertures and gas drag in the controlled environment allow to provide cleaning substance particles with speed in the range about 1-100 m/s (preferably about 3-30 m/s) and size in the range about 1-100 um (preferably 1-10 um) to the membrane, such that two-phase flow cleans but does not rupture the thin and fragile membrane.
