Abstract
With the aim of improving output parameters and operating characteristics of ArF excimer laser intended for submicrolithography intracavity Fabry-Perot etalons able to effectively narrow and tune laser radiation were developed and tested. Used in an YYE 1702 compact excimer laser two innovative etalons permitted to achieve maximum output energy of 5 mJ at 193,3 nm, bandwidth of 20 pm and 0.5 level for 8 ns pulse duration, 20 X 5 mm output beam aperture, 100 Hz pulse repetition rate. The dispersive resonator shows high energy efficiency.
