    Abstract: A collector module is disclosed comprising: a collector for collecting radiation generated by a radiation generating plasma, and for directing at least a portion of the generated radiation; a structure upstream of the focal point and extending at least partially around an expected position of a beam comprising the at least a portion of the collected radiation; a diffractive element being arranged to diffract infrared radiation that is reflected from the plasma formation location. When the plasma formation location is at an intended location, m = +1 diffracted infrared radiation is directed towards a first region of the structure. At m = -1 diffracted infrared radiation is directed towards a second region of the structure. Also disclosed is an infra-red detector with increased dynamic range obtained by providing a screen for forming an image of a hotspot and a camera directed on to the screen. The dynamic range of the detector is improved either by heating the screen such that a low intensity hotspot is raised above a camera threshold, or by dividing the image into multiple images of differing intensities.

    Abstract: An illuminator for controlling a beam of radiation for a lithographic projection apparatus includes a plurality of optical elements and an exchanger for inserting and removing the optical elements from the beam path. The intensity distribution of the beam at a pupil plane of the illuminator is determined by the optical elements. Different illumination settings (intensity distributions) can be obtained by the exchanger swapping between different optical elements, without the need for a zoom-axicon module.

    Abstract: A radiation source includes a nozzle configured to direct a stream of fuel droplets along a droplet path towards a plasma formation location, and is configured to receive a gaussian radiation beam having gaussian intensity distribution, having a predetermined wavelength and propagating along a predetermined trajectory, and further configured to focus the radiation beam on a fuel droplet at the plasma formation location. The radiation source includes a phase plate structure including one or more phase plates. The phase plate structure has a first zone and a second zone. The zones are arranged such that radiation having the predetermined wavelength passing through the first zone and radiation having the predetermined wavelength passing through the second zone propagate along respective optical paths having different optical path lengths. A difference between the optical path lengths is an odd number of times half the predetermined wavelength.
