Abstract: An assembly comprises a space configured for placing a medium to receive a first radiation for generating a second radiation. In operation, the second radiation propagates coaxially with the first radiation after the medium. The assembly further comprises an optical element after the medium for transmitting or reflecting the first radiation with a surface area. The assembly is configured such that, in operation, a cleaning gas is in contact with the surface area. A reactive medium is generated from at least a part of the cleaning gas by the second radiation for removing a contamination from the surface area.

Abstract: A mirror comprises a body and a surface defined by the body. The body comprises a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers are arranged to act as a multilayer Bragg reflector for radiation having a first wavelength when radiation having said first wavelength is incident on the surface. A local tangent plane of the surface is inclined at a non-zero angle relative to a local tangent plane of the plurality of layers.

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 radiation source for a lithographic apparatus uses a plurality of fiber lasers to ignite a fuel droplet at an ignition location to generate EUV radiation. The fiber lasers may be provided to emit parallel to an optical axis and a telescopic optical system is provided to focus the lasers at the ignition location, or the lasers may be directed towards the optical axis with a final focus lens being used to reduce beam waist. The lasers may be provided in two or more groups to allow them to be independently controlled and some of the lasers may be focused at a different location to provide a pre-pulse. Radiation from fiber lasers may also be combined using dichroic mirrors.
