Popis: | A new beam homogenizer device which leaves the beam parameter product almost unaffected is presented. Excimer laser beams usually show a nearly Gaussian beam profile along the short beam axis whereas along the long beam axis a nearly flat-top profile is provided. The new beam homogenizer efficiently converts the short beam axis into a top-hat profile featuring nearly the same divergence as the incoming laser beam. Depending on the output beam profile of the excimer laser the homogenizer presented provides a beam profile with a homogeneity of ±5% to ±10% within an area covering 65% to 70% of the total pulse energy. |
