  • To meet the high stability requirements of the extreme ultraviolet(EUV) light source driven by a CO2 laser under the Laser Produced Plasma(LPP) system, the simplified CO2 laser transmission system model is established. The monitoring and controlling methods of the beam power, pointing and the location are studied theoretically and experimentally based on the requirements of the beam stability. The beam monitoring and controlling experimental system is set up in a laboratory according to the characteristics of the high-power CO2 laser transmission system. The system includes a beam power control module, a beam pointing control module and a beam parameter monitoring module. The beam parameter monitoring module can accomplish the real-time measurements of beam powers, pointing, sizes and divergence angles and other important parameters. The simulation and experimental results show that the beam power control module can control the linearly polarized laser power from 1% to 100% and the beam pointing control module can control the beam pointing stability to be less than 10 rad, which meets the high stability requirements of the extreme ultraviolet(EUV) lithography for the CO2 laser source under the Laser Produced Plasma(LPP) system.
