Patent number: 10422508Abstract: A tunable spectral filter includes a first tunable dispersive element, a first optical element, a spatial filtering element located at the focal plane, a second optical element, and a second dispersive element. The first tunable dispersive element introduces spectral dispersion to an illumination beam with an adjustable dispersion. The first optical element focuses the illumination beam at a focal plane in which a distribution of a spectrum of the spectrally-dispersed illumination beam at the focal plane is controllable by adjusting the dispersion of the first tunable dispersive element. The spatial filtering element filters the spectrum of the illumination beam based on the distribution of the spectrum of the illumination beam at the focal plane. The second optical element collects the spectrally-dispersed illumination beam transmitted from the spatial filtering element. The second tunable dispersive element removes the dispersion introduced by the first tunable dispersive element from the illumination beam.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: KLA-Tencor CorporationInventors: Andrew V.
