It will be understood that an apparatus and method is disclosed, which may
comprise a multi-layer reflecting coating forming an EUV reflective
surface which may comprise a spectral filter tuned to selectively highly
reflect light in a band centered about at a first preferred wavelength
and to significantly reduce the reflection of light at a band centered
about a second wavelength, e.g., it may be tuned to reflect maximally or
almost maximally, near the top of the reflectivity curve, e.g., at around
13.5 nm and at a significantly lower reflectivity at, e.g., around 11 nm,
to discriminate against light near 11 nm and favor light at around 13.5
nm. The spectral filter may comprise a plurality of nested grazing angle
of incidence shells comprising reflective surfaces comprising the
multi-layer reflective coating. e.g. multilayer mirrors, e.g., with one
or more reflecting surfaces per shell.
