    Abstract: A high resolution spectral measurement device. A preferred embodiment presents an extremely narrow slit function in the ultraviolet range and is very useful for measuring bandwidth of narrow-band excimer lasers used for integrated circuit lithography. Light from the laser is focused into a diffuser and the diffused light exiting the diffuser illuminates an etalon. A portion of its light exiting the etalon is collected and directed into a slit positioned at a fringe pattern of the etalon. Light passing through the slit is collimated and the collimated light illuminates a grating positioned in an approximately Littrow configuration which disburses the light according to wavelength. A portion of the dispursed light representing the wavelength corresponding to the selected etalon fringe is passed through a second slit and monitored by a light detector. When the etalon and the grating are tuned to the same precise wavelength a slit function is defined which is extremely narrow such as about 0.034 pm (FWHM) and about 0.091 pm (95 percent integral). The bandwidth of a laser beam can be measured very accurately by a directing portion of the laser beam into the insulator and scanning the laser wavelength over a range which includes the monochromator slit wavelength. In a second embodiment the second slit and the light detector is replaced by a photodiod array and the bandwidth of a laser beam is determined by analyzing a set of scan data from the photodiode array. Alternately, the laser wavelength can be fixed near the middle of the spectrum range of the grating spectrometer, and the etalon can be scanned.

The wavelength scanning of the spectrometer is done by changing the gas pressure in the enclosure during the scan.

    Abstract: A spectrometer measures a spectrum of a light beam supplied from a light source so as to obtain fine information and coarse information of the spectrum easily. This spectrometer has a holographic grating, an Echelle grating, a rotation stage and a line sensor. In the case where a single pass beam is to be detected, a control processing unit controls the rotation stage so as to rotate the Echelle grating from the Littrow arrangement by a predetermined angle null1. On the other hand, in the case where a double pass beam is to be detected, the control processing unit controls the rotation stage so as to rotate the Echelle grating from the Littrow arrangement by a predetermined angle null2.

    Abstract: The present application discloses a system comprising a compact curved grating (CCG) and its associated compact curved grating spectrometer (CCGS) or compact curved grating wavelength multiplexer/demultiplexer (WMDM) module and a method for making the same. The system is capable of achieving a very small (resolution vs. size) RS factor. The location of the entrance slit and detector can be adjusted in order to have the best performance for a particular design goal. The initial groove spacing is calculated using a prescribed formula dependent on operation wavelength. The location of the grooves is calculated based on two conditions. The first one being that the path-difference between adjacent grooves should be an integral multiple of the wavelength in the medium to achieve aberration-free grating focusing at the detector or a first anchor output slit even with large beam diffraction angle from the entrance slit or input slit, the second one being specific for a particular design goal of a curved-grating spectrometer.

    Abstract: A multiband spatial heterodyne spectrometer for determining spectra in first and second wavelength bands has a beam splitter configured to split incident light and to direct the incident light upon a first and a second diffraction grating. The gratings are configured for Littrow reflection of incident light of the first wavelength band at a first order and Littrow reflection of incident light of the second wavelength band at a second order. Light reflected by the first and the second diffraction grating forms diffraction patterns that are imaged by an electronic camera. A dispersive device such as a prism or diffraction grating separates the imaged interference patterns onto separate rows of pixel sensors corresponding to the wavelength bands. A processing device receives information from the detector and computes spectra therefrom. In embodiments, the spectrometer is configured to compute hyperspectral images of a target.
