Devices useful for vacuum ultraviolet beam characterization including a movable stage with a transmission grating and image detector

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1107633

The invention provides for a device comprising an apparatus comprising (a) a transmission grating capable of diffracting a photon beam into a diffracted photon output, and (b) an image detector capable of detecting the diffracted photon output. The device is useful for measuring the spatial profile and diffraction pattern of a photon beam, such as a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) beam.
