Abstract

Disclosed is a method, system, and apparatus for optical emission measurement. The apparatus includes a collection system for collecting a plasma optical emission spectra through an optical window disposed at a wall of a plasma processing chamber. The optical system includes a mirror configured to scan a plurality of non-coincident rays across the plasma processing chamber; and a telecentric coupler for collecting an optical signal from a plasma and directing the optical signal to a spectrometer for measuring the plasma optical emission spectra.
