  • Publication number: 20240126185
    Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus includes a target supply unit, a target passage detection device, a delay circuit, a laser device, a target image capturing device, and a processor. Here, the processor controls the vibrating element to provide irregular intervals between droplet targets adjacent to each other; generates integrated image data by integrating plural pieces of image data imaged at different times; specifies a position, in the integrated image data, of the droplet target most emphasized in the integrated image data; and sets a delay time based on a distance from a position of the most emphasized droplet target to a second detection position.

  • Patent number: 7540633
    Abstract: In lamp unit 10 having light source lamp 1, reflector 2 for reflecting light from light source lamp 1, reflector holding member 11, and reflector cover 15, a plurality of cooling holes 18a are formed in a region of reflector holding member 11 provided with lamp unit positioner 16a. Cooling holes 18a are open toward an upper bulb area, a lower bulb area, and a cathode of the light source lamp, respectively. Stud 22a for fixing reflector holding member 11 has a throughhole extending at the center thereof, so that cooling air fed from high static pressure blower 27 can be sent to cooling holes 18 through tube 28 and the throughhole of stud 22a, thus efficiently cooling the upper bulb area, lower bulb area, and cathode of light source lamp 1 in a concentrative manner with a small amount of air. Thus, the resulting lamp unit, provided by the present invention, can reduce the amount of air required for cooling the lamp, and can use a high static pressure and small fan.
