摘要:
The disclosure relates to a method for modifying a polarization distribution in a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, and to a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus. The projection exposure apparatus has an illumination device and a projection objective. The illumination device has an optical axis and a correction arrangement having a lambda/4 plate arranged rotatably about the optical axis and/or a lambda/2 plate arranged rotatably about the optical axis. The method includes determining a polarization distribution in a predetermined plane of the projection exposure apparatus, and rotating the lambda/4 plate and/or the lambda/2 plate about the optical axis so that a local variation of the polarization distribution is reduced after rotation in comparison with the state before the rotating.
