    Abstract: An optical system for directing first and second laser pulses along an optical axis to a target to generate extreme ultraviolet radiation from said target. The optical system comprises a first optical component configured to redistribute a first laser pulse to form a shaped laser pulse having a hollow region. The optical system comprise a second optical component configured to focus the shaped laser pulse toward the target. The optical system comprises a third optical component configured to focus a second laser pulse toward the target within the hollow region of the shaped laser pulse. The first, second and third optical components are coaxially arranged on the optical axis.
