Abstract
The invention relates to radiation source assembly including a novel arrangement for protecting at least a portion of an optical radiation sensor from damage due to thermal build-up from the radiation being sensed while allowing the optical radiation sensor to function in a substantially normal manner. Generally, in the present arrangement, damaging radiation from the radiation field in which the sensor is disposed is substantially prevented from contacting the sensor. This may be achieved in a number of different ways.
