TWO-STAGE LASER SYSTEM FOR ALIGNERS

摘要

The invention relates to a two-stage laser system well fit for semiconductor aligners, which is reduced in terms of spatial coherence while taking advantage of the high stability, high output efficiency and fine line width of the MOPO mode. The two-stage laser system for aligners comprises an oscillation-stage laser ( 50 ) and an amplification-stage laser ( 60 ). Oscillation laser light having divergence is used as the oscillation-stage laser ( 50 ), and the amplification-stage laser ( 60 ) comprises a Fabry-Perot etalon resonator made up of an input side mirror ( 1 ) and an output side mirror ( 2 ). The resonator is configured as a stable resonator.
