Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a high quality calcium fluoride optical fluoride crystal for a lithography/laser element having excellent optical quality for the light of shorter wavelength than 250 nm. SOLUTION: The device for treating the fluoride crystal comprises an enclosure (12); a heating means for heating the internal volume (16) of the enclosure (12); at least one hollow platform (20) delimiting an internal chamber (22) whose upper wall (24) bears at least two independent diffusers (30) each delimiting a cavity (32) able to receive a unitary quantity (100) of the fluoride crystal substance, each of the cavities (32) communicating with the internal chamber (22) of the corresponding platform (20); a reactive gas supply source; means (50, 52, 54) for distributing the reactive gas from the gas supply source to the inside of the internal chamber of each platform; and a means (44) for regulating the pressure of the distributed gas.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preparing a metal fluoride crystal suitable for manufacturing an optical element that can be used in a lithographic equipment below 200 nm and its process. SOLUTION: Metal fluoride particles, substantially all of which have a size of 1 mm or greater, are treated with an oxygen scavenger just prior to being melted, and used to grow a metal fluoride single crystal. In one embodiment, a metal fluoride raw material is treated with the oxygen scavenger to remove oxygen containing impurities, liquefied, and cooled to form a premelt material. The premelt material is then broken into particles having a certain range of sizes and separated by sieving or other separation methods known in the technical art into at least a group of particles substantially all of which have a size of 1 mm or larger and a group of particles having a size of less than 1 mm. The 1 mm and larger material is used to grow the metal fluoride single crystal having improved transmission properties in a range of 120-220 nm. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: A glass consisting essentially of antimony oxide. An optically active glass consisting essentially of antimony oxide and up to about 4 mole % of an oxide of a rare earth element. A rare earth-doped, antimony oxide-containing glass including 0-99 mole % SiO2, 0-99 mole % GeO2, 0-75 mole % (Al, Ga)2O3, 0.5-99 mole % Sb2O3, and up to about 4 mole % of an oxide of a rare earth element. The oxide of the rare earth element may comprise Er2O3. The glass of the invention further includes fluorine, expressed as a metal fluoride. An optical energy-producing or light-amplifying device, in particular, an optical amplifier, comprising the above-described glass. The optical amplifier can be either a fiber amplifier or a planar amplifier, either of which may have a hybrid composition. Embodiments of the glass of the invention can be formed by conventional glass making techniques, while some of the high content antimony oxide embodiments are formed by splat or roller quenching.
