Abstract
We report high resolution imaging results obtained utilizing small-scale extreme ultraviolet laser sources. A compact capillary-discharge pumped Ne-like Ar laser emitting at a wavelength of 46.9 nm was used to demonstrate imaging with nanometer-scale resolution in transmission and reflection modes. We exploited the large photon fluence of this short wavelength laser to obtain high-resolution images with exposure times as short as 1-10 seconds. Images with a spatial resolution better than 140 nm were obtained using the combination of a Sc/Si multilayer coated Schwarzschild condenser and free-standing objective zone plate. Preliminary results of imaging with a 13.9 nm extreme ultraviolet laser light are also discussed.
