Abstract:
A method is described for measuring a moving property of a target. The method includes: forming a remaining plasma that at least partially coincides with an extended target region, the remaining plasma being a plasma formed from an interaction between a prior target and a prior radiation pulse in a target space; releasing a current target along a trajectory toward the target space that is at least partly overlapping the extended target region; determining one or more moving properties of the current target when the current target is within the extended target region and after a prior and adjacent target has interacted with a prior radiation pulse in the target space; and if any of the determined one or more moving properties of the current target are outside an acceptable range, then adjusting one or more characteristics of a radiation pulse directed toward the target space.

Claim (Index 5):
The apparatus of  claim 4 , further comprising an adjustment system coupled to the optical source and to the control system, wherein the control system is configured to control a relative position between a current radiation pulse and the present target by sending a control signal to the adjustment system, the control signal causing the adjustment system to adjust one or more of a timing of a release of the current radiation pulse and a direction at which the current radiation pulse travels.
