    Abstract: An EUV radiation light source generation apparatus includes a pump laser, at least one pulse shaping unit, a wavelength conversion unit, and a high-order harmonics generation unit. The pump laser provides a pulse laser radiation beam. Each pulse shaping unit conducts a spectrum extending operation and a phase compensation operation to the pulse laser radiation beam. The phase compensation operation makes multiple frequency components of the pulse laser radiation beam emitted by the pulse shaping unit to be substantially in phase. The wavelength conversion unit conducts a center wavelength conversion operation to the pulse laser radiation beam. The high-order harmonics generation unit receives the pulse laser radiation beam processed by the pulse shaping unit and the center wavelength conversion operation, and focuses the received pulse laser radiation beam to a high order harmonic generation medium to generate a high order harmonic radiation beam.

    Abstract: A coherent Raman spectro-microscopy system is configured for generating a spectro-microscopic image of a sample and includes a light source, a supercontinuum spectrum generator, a color filter assembly, and a spectro-microscopic assembly. The light source is for emitting at least one pulsed laser beam. The supercontinuum spectrum generator is for broadening the bandwidth of at least one pulsed laser beam. The color filter assembly is for filtering the bandwidth of at least one pulsed laser beam according to a predetermined bandwidth and converting at least one pulsed laser beam into a coherent spectro-microscopic laser beam. The sample is disposed in the spectro-microscopic assembly, and the spectro-microscopic assembly receives the coherent spectro-microscopic laser beam so that the coherent spectro-microscopic laser beam passes through the sample to generate the spectro-microscopic image of the sample.
