    Abstract: A free electron laser comprising: an electron source (21), a linear accelerator (22), an undulator (26), electron beam optics and a deceleration unit (28'). The electron source is operable to produce a bunched electron beam. The linear accelerator arranged to impart energy to electrons in the bunched electron beam produced by the electron source. The undulator is operable to produce a periodic magnetic field and is arranged so as to guide the bunched electron beam along a periodic path about a central axis of the undulator such that they interact with radiation in the undulator, stimulating emission of coherent radiation. The electron beam optics is arranged to direct the bunched electron beam back into the linear accelerator after it leaves the undulator so as to extract energy from electrons in the bunched electron beam. The deceleration unit is arranged to extract energy from electrons in the bunched electron beam after it has left the undulator. The deceleration unit comprises one or more resonant cavities (33), and an energy dissipation mechanism. The bunched electron beam is directed through the one or more resonant cavities so as to excite one or more resonant standing wave modes therein.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for directing onto a substrate a radiation beam emitted as a result of high harmonic generation (HHG). A drive radiation source provides drive radiation to an interaction region which contains a medium for HHG generation. The radiation generated by HHG may comprise a plurality of soft X-ray (SXR) wavelengths. Different HHG generated wavelengths have a different divergence angles. The apparatus further comprises an optical system which focusses the different HHG wavelengths to different focal planes, because of the different divergence angles. The apparatus further comprises a substrate support for holding the substrate. One or more of the drive radiation source, interaction region, optical system and substrate support can control the position of the substrate relative to the plurality of focal planes of the HHG radiation.

    Abstract: In a method of determining an edge roughness parameter of a periodic structure, the periodic structure is illuminated (602) in an inspection apparatus. The illumination radiation beam may comprise radiation with a wavelength in the range 1 nm to 100 nm. A scattering signal (604) is obtained from a radiation beam scattered from the periodic structure. The scattering signal comprises a scattering intensity signal that is obtained by detecting an image of a far-field diffraction pattern in the inspection apparatus. An edge roughness parameter, such as Lined Edge Roughness and/or Line Width Roughness is determined (606) based on a distribution of the scattering intensity signal around a non-specular diffraction order. This may be done for example using a peak broadening model.

    Abstract: Passage through LINACs of electron bunches in their acceleration phase is co-ordinated with passage through the LINACs of electron bunches in their deceleration phase. Each successive pair of electron bunches are spaced in time by a respective bunch spacing, in accordance with a repeating electron bunch sequence. The electron source provides clearing gaps in the electron bunch sequence to allow clearing of ions at the undulator. The electron source provides the clearing gaps in accordance with a clearing gap sequence such that, for each of the plurality of energy recovery LINACS, and for substantially all of the clearing gaps:- for each passage of the clearing gap through the LINAC in an acceleration phase or deceleration phase the clearing gap is co-ordinated with a further one of the clearing gaps passing through the LINAC in a deceleration phase or acceleration phase thereby to maintain energy recovery operation of the LINAC.
