Abstract
A method for controlling an interaction between droplet targets and a high power and high-repetition-rate laser beam at a laser focus position of the laser beam including providing a droplet generator for generating a train of droplets as a droplet target with a predetermined droplet frequency and velocity in a predetermined direction; providing a high power, high-repetition-rate laser for emitting a pulsed laser beam, which is focused in the laser focus position; aligning the droplet generator such that the train of droplets runs through the laser focus position; generating a train of droplets as a droplet target; and emitting a pulsed laser beam in synchronization with the train of droplets, such that the droplet target interacts with the pulsed laser beam at the laser focus position.
