摘要:
Systems and methods for adjusting a focal length of a mirror are provided. Some systems can include an adjustment device having an slot, a mirror that is rotatable about an axis, and a drive coupled to the mirror and configured to engage the slot, wherein movement of the adjustment device can cause the drive to move within the slot upwards or downwards in accordance with a slope of the slot, thereby rotating the mirror about the axis.

The invention relates to a visually variable security element (12) which is intended for safeguarding articles of value and, depending on the viewing angle, shows a motif with at least one representation of a curve (16), which from a first viewing angle is visible as a default curve in a middle position within a presentation area (22) and, when the security element (12) is tilted about two different predetermined axes, moves in different directions away from the middle position within the presentation area (22), with a two-dimensional motif area (20), which in the presentation area (22) is provided with a plurality of reflective, planar facets (30), wherein each planar facet (30) is characterized by an angle of inclination with respect to the plane of the two-dimensional motif area (20) that has as inclination components a parallel component (N II ) parallel to the default curve in the middle position and a normal component (Ν I ) perpendicular to the default curve in the middle position, and wherein a first of the two inclination components is chosen for the planar facets (30) of the presentation area (22) on the basis of the distance of the respective facet (30) from the default curve and a second of the two inclination components is chosen in a predetermined spreading-out region irrespective of the distance of the respective facet (30) from the default curve.

A faceted mirror for EUV projection lithography has a plurality of facets (25) for reflecting EUV illumination light. At least some of the facets (25) are produced as orientation facets and have a reflection surface (32), the edge contour (33) of which is oriented along two orientation coordinates (x, y) of a facet overall arrangement. The reflection surface (32) of at least one of the orientation facets (25) has a surface shape which has different curvatures along two axes of curvature (x', y'), wherein said axes of curvature (x', y') are tilted about an end axis tilt angle (α, β) in relation to the orientation coordinates (x, y) of the facet overall arrangement. A faceted mirror is achieved, the EUV performance of which is increased in particular when a projection illumination system fitted with said faceted mirror is operated for longer.

The invention relates to a method for producing a mirror element, more particularly for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus. A method according to the invention comprises the following steps: providing a substrate (101, 102, 103, 104, 201, 202, 301, 302, 401, 402, 501, 502, 801, 901, 951, 961) and forming a layer stack (111, 112, 113, 114, 211, 212, 311, 312, 411, 412, 511, 512) on the substrate, wherein forming the layer stack is carried out in such a way that a desired curvature - wanted for a predefined operating temperature - of the mirror element is produced by a bending force exerted by the layer stack, wherein, before the layer stack is formed, the substrate has a curvature deviating from said desired curvature of the mirror element, and wherein the bending force exerted by the layer stack is at least partly produced by an aftertreatment for altering the layer stress of the layer stack being carried out.

An illumination system for an optical arrangement such as an EUV lithography apparatus, having: at least one optical element which has at least one optical surface, on which a coating which reflects illumination radiation is applied, and an actuator device aligning the optical surface in at least two angular positions in the radiation path. The coating either has a thickness (dOPT1) at which a mean value (½ (R1+R2)) formed from a thickness-dependent reflectivity (R1, R2) of the coating at the at least two angular positions is maximized or has a thickness (dOPT2) at which a maximum change (max(&Dgr;R1/R1, &Dgr;R2/R2)) in the reflectivity (R1, R2) caused by a thickness tolerance of the coating is minimized at the respective angular positions or else the reflecting coating has a thickness (dO2) at which the reflectivity (R1, R2) of the coating has the same magnitude in the at least two angular positions.

A solar collector is provided with a reflective panel assembly that is supported by a frame and pivots about a first horizontal axis. The panel assembly is configured for reflecting sunlight to a common focal point, and includes a central panel and a pair of outer panels each pivotally coupled to the central panel and configured for folding over the central panel. A collector assembly is mounted relative to the frame and pivotal about a second horizontal axis. The collector assembly is configured for collecting solar energy and includes a receiver that is positioned at the focal point. The receiver is configured for extracting energy from the reflected sunlight. The solar collector may also include a four-bar linkage assembly for supporting the panel assembly and the collector assembly during movement from a collapsed position and a partially extended position.
