Zusammenfassung:Laser-produced plasma light source contains a vacuum chamber with a rotating target assembly providing a target in an interaction zone with a laser beam focused on the said target, which is a molten metal layer. A debris shield is rigidly mounted to surround the interaction zone, said shield comprising only two opening forming an entrance for the laser beam and an exit for a short-wavelength radiation beam. The means for debris mitigation can additionally include: the rotation of target with high linear velocity exciding 80 m/s; the orientation of the short-wavelength radiation beam and/or of the laser beam at an angle of less than 45° to the target surface, a nozzle supplying a high-speed gas flow to the interaction zone, etc. The technical result is the creation of the high-brightness low-debris sources of soft X-ray, EUV and VUV light at wavelengths of 0.4 to 200 nm.
