摘要
We demonstrate that the insertion of ceramic acoustic dampers within an excimer laser cavity produces a large reduction in the amplitude of the residual pressure fluctuations, hence allowing a strong improvement of average laser power and beam divergence at high pulse repetition frequency. Moreover, this technological solution is easy to implement and economical.
