  • Abstract
    On-axis holographic images of various test objects were used to characterize the spatial coherence properties of the Xe/sup 2+/ Auger laser emitting at /spl lambda/=109 nm. The reliable performance of the VUV imaging system consisting of PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) film as a photosensitive material and the AFM (atomic force microscope) as a read-out device has been demonstrated.
