EMITTER EXIT WINDOW

摘要

An exit window (15) can include an exit window foil (12), and a support grid (13) contacting and supporting the exit window foil. The support grid can have first and second grids (16, 18), each having respective first and second grid portions (16c, 18c) that are positioned in an alignment and thermally isolated from each other, The first and second grid portions can each have a series of apertures (16a, 18a) that are aligned for allowing the passage of a beam (14) therethrough to reach and pass through the exit window foil (12). The second grid portion (18c) can contact the exit window foil. The first grid portion (16c) can mask the second grid portion (18c) and the exit window foil (12) from heat caused by the beam striking the first grid portion (16e).
