Abstract
The disclosure relates to a beam trap including: a reflector for reflecting a beam, in particular a laser beam, that is incident on a surface of the reflector, and an absorber device for absorbing the beam reflected at the surface of the reflector. The surface of the reflector is segmented and has a plurality of reflector regions that are configured for reflecting a respective partial beam of the incident beam into an absorber region of the absorber device that is associated with the respective reflector region. The disclosure also relates to a beam guide device having a beam trap of this type, an EUV radiation generation apparatus having a beam guide device of this type, and an associated method for absorbing a beam, in particular for absorbing a laser beam.
