These produce beam of a radiation focused on a plasma forming zone within a container (40) containing a gas (e.g., Xe). Collection optics (44) collects photons emitted by a plasma (42) maintained by the laser radiation to form beam a of output radiation (46). The plasma has an elongate form (L > d) and the collecting optics is configured to collect photons emerging in the longitudinal direction from the plasma. The brightness of the plasma is increased compared with sources which collect radiation emerging transversely from the plasma. A metrology apparatus using the light source can achieve greater accuracy and/or throughput as a result of the increased brightness. Back reflectors may be provided. Microwave radiation may be used instead of laser radiation form to the plasma.
