A fiber optic connector for coupling focused radiant energy from a laser to a fiber optic conductor includes a secondary transmission path, one or more diffusers and, optionally, one or more internal heat sinks for diffusing radiant energy so as to and thereby minimize damage to the connector. In addition, coupling of the radiant energy to the cladding of the fiber is minimized by stripping or at least partially removing the cladding to reduce the amount of cladding in the area that extends to the focal plane of the radiant energy source, while reduction of higher order propagation modes may optionally be achieved by tapering a section of the fiber in such a manner that light entering the fiber at large critical angles are effectively collimated, i.e., bent towards the axis of the fiber.

End of line effect can occur during manufacture of components using a lithographic apparatus. These end of line effects can result in line end shortening of the features being manufactured. Such line end shortening may have an adverse impact on the component being manufactured. It is therefore desirable to predict and / or monitor the line end shortening. A test pattern is provided that has two separate areas such that, as designed, when the two areas are illuminated with radiation (for example from an angle-resolved scatterometer) they result in diffused radiation with asymmetry that is equal in sign to each other, but opposite in magnitude. When the test pattern is actually manufactured, line end shortening occurs, and so the asymmetry of the two areas are not equal and opposite. From the measured asymmetry of the manufactured test pattern, the amount of line end shortening that has occurred can be estimated.
