Abstract

In a pulsed laser deposition system, the two optical actions of focusing rastering, and the optical chamber window are combined into a single optics system. The single optics system is mounted on the processing chamber. Combining the three separate optical functions into one optics system facilitates laser beam control and reduces the space needed for the apparatus.
