ABSTRACT:
A controlled aperture provides an opening through a barrier separating two parts of the apparatus to enable a pulse of radiation to be radiated from one part of the apparatus to the a second part. The controlled aperture closes the opening between the pulses of radiation to minimize the gas flow between the first and second parts.
