XUUS™ is a fully engineered and integrated EUV / Soft X-ray femtosecond light source and beamline for industrial and scientific application,. XUUS™ is a coherent EUV/Soft X-ray light source based on high harmonic generation (HHG). It is a fully engineered and integrated commercial source based on a single rugged opto-mechanical platform. It employs a patented (US 6,151,155) hollow waveguide for the high-harmonic upconversion process.
