Abstract

We report the uninterrupted operation of an 18.9 nm wavelength tabletop soft x-ray laser at 100 Hz repetition rate for extended periods of time. An average power of about 0.1 mW was obtained by irradiating a Mo target with pulses from a compact diode-pumped chirped pulse amplification Yb:YAG laser. Series of up to 1.8 x 105 consecutive laser pulses of ~1 µJ energy were generated by displacing the surface of a high shot-capacity rotating molybdenum target by ~2 µm between laser shots. As a proof-of-principle demonstration of the use of this compact ultrashort wavelength laser in applications requiring a high average power coherent beam, we lithographically printed an array of nanometer-scale features using coherent Talbot self-imaging.

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 Setup for generating the continuously operating SXRL. Driver laser pulses exiting the pulse compressor are focused into a line on the target at grazing incidence using cylindrical optics. Photographs of the high shot capacity target and the line focus plasma amplifier are shown inset.

Fig. 2
Fig. 2 (a) and (b) show a single shot on axis EUV spectrum of the Mo plasma with strong lasing observed on the λ = 18.9nm transition. (c) Measured SXRL pulse energy at 50 Hz repetition rate for just over 1 hour of operation. 180,000 consecutive shots were recorded. The line shows the running average of the pulse energy with the error bars representing the shot to shot standard deviation of each section of pulse sequence. The periodic gaps in the data correspond to transfers of the data from a digitizing oscilloscope to a computer during which the laser continued to operate.

Fig. 3
Fig. 3 (a) Recorded laser pulse energy variation for 30 minutes of continuous 100 Hz repetition rate operation of the λ = 18.9nm SXRL. The degradation of the pulse energy over the run is due to poor thermal stabilization of the lab causing a drift in the driver laser. (b) A close-up of the shaded 30 second subsection of the run in (a) showing the shot to shot stability of 3000 consecutive shots.

Fig. 4
Fig. 4 (a) Talbot lithography experimental setup. The SXRL beam passes through an Al filter and impinges a 45° angle of incidence Mo-Si multilayer mirror. A two dimensional periodic mask generates a Talbot image at the sample plane that is registered in photoresist. (b) Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the Talbot mask defined on a SiN membrane. (c) Atomic force microscope image of the nanometer-scale features printed through Talbot lithography using the λ = 18.9 nm laser. The overall size of the array was ≈0.5 mm x 0.5 mm, and the width of the printed lines was ≈400 nm.
