Latest Patents
One of Görtler's latest patents is the F2-laser with line selection. This invention involves an F-excimer laser that features multiple closely-spaced spectral lines of interest around 157 nm. The technology utilizes wavelength selection optics to select one of the lines. The first preferred embodiment includes a birefringent Brewster window that encloses the laser gas volume of the discharge chamber. This window is made of MgF and is strategically located at one end of the discharge chamber. The optical thickness of the window is coordinated with rotatably adjustable, orthogonal refractive indices to select one line from the two available. The transmissivity of the window is influenced by these orthogonal refractive indices and the optical thickness. The second preferred embodiment incorporates wavelength selection optics that are partially within the laser active volume, optimizing the combination of optical and discharge efficiency, resonator size, and cost. The wavelength selection unit includes a prism oriented at Brewster's angle, with a highly reflective coating on the back surface to serve as the resonator's highly reflective surface.
