An apparatus for cross-flow purging for optical components in a chamber, including: a housing with first and second axial ends, a side wall extending in an axial direction and connecting the first and second axial ends, and the chamber formed by the first and second axial ends and the side wall; an optical component disposed within the chamber and fixed with respect to the housing via at least one connecting point on the optical component; an inlet port aligned with the side wall, between the first and second axial ends in the axial direction, in a radial direction orthogonal to the axial direction and arranged to inject a purge gas into the chamber and across the optical component in a radial direction orthogonal to the axial direction; and an exhaust port aligned with the side wall in the radial direction and arranged to exhaust the purge gas from the chamber.

Apparatus and method for cross-flow purge for optical components in a chamber

An apparatus for producing a high purity stream of ozone including a reaction chamber having an inlet and an outlet, a gaseous feed stream having a first purified component and an ultraviolet source. The gaseous feed stream enters the reaction chamber through the inlet, the first purified component includes oxygen, the ultraviolet source forms ozone from the oxygen, and the ozone exits the reaction chamber through the outlet.
