    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: A method and a system are described for monitoring integrity and/or a contamination particle of an article (120), which may be, for example, a spectral purity filter in an EUV lithographic apparatus. To monitor integrity of an article operating in a low pressure environment, a beam of electrons is directed toward the article within the environment. The article when intact is configured to stop at least a proportion of the electrons in the beam, and a signal is generated to indicate integrity status of the article by identifying when at least a part of the article is not stopping the expected proportion of electrons in the beam. The electrons can be detected in the article itself, or in a screen or other detection device behind the article. EUV optical apparatus incorporating the method and the system are also described.

    Abstract: An illumination system having a plurality of reflective elements, the reflective elements being movable between different orientations which direct radiation towards different locations in a pupil plane, thereby forming different illumination modes, is described. Each reflective element is moveable to a first orientation in which it directs radiation to a location in an inner illumination location group, to a second orientation in which it directs radiation to a location in an intermediate illumination location group, and to a third orientation in which it directs radiation to a location in an outer illumination location group. The reflective elements are configured to be oriented such that they can direct equal amounts of radiation towards the inner, intermediate and outer illumination location groups, and are configured to be oriented such that they can direct substantially no radiation into the outer illumination location group and direct substantially equal amounts of radiation towards the inner and intermediate illumination location groups.

    Abstract: An actuator (300) to displace, for example a mirror, provides movement with at least two degrees of freedom by varying the currents in two electromagnets (370, 372, 376, 378). A moving part includes a permanent magnet (362) with a magnetic face constrained to move over a working area lying substantially in a first plane perpendicular to a direction of magnetization of the magnet. The electromagnets have pole faces (380, 382) lying substantially in a second plane closely parallel to the first plane, each pole face substantially filling a quadrant of the area traversed by the face of the moving magnet. An optical position sensor (390) may direct a beam of radiation (398) at the moving magnet through a central space between the electromagnets. The sizes of facets in a pupil mirror device may be made smaller in a peripheral region, but larger in a central region, thereby relaxing focusing requirements.

    Abstract: In a lithographic apparatus, an illumination mode is set using a field mirror that includes a plurality of movable facets to direct radiation to selectable positions on a pupil facet mirror. A base illumination mode is selected from a set of predetermined illumination modes and the movable facets are set to effect that mode. In order to adjust an imaging parameter, a fraction of the movable facets are set to different positions. The determination of which facets to set to different positions is based on summing the effects of setting each facet to a different position.
