摘要:
A catadioptric projection optical system for forming a reduced image of a first surface (R) on a second surface (W) is a relatively compact projection optical system having excellent imaging performance as well corrected for various aberrations, such as chromatic aberration and curvature of field, and being capable of securing a large effective image-side numerical aperture while suitably suppressing reflection loss on optical surfaces. The projection optical system comprises at least two reflecting mirrors (CM1, CM2), and a boundary lens (Lb) whose surface on the first surface side has a positive refracting power, and an optical path between the boundary lens and the second surface is filled with a medium (Lm) having a refractive index larger than 1.1. Every transmitting member and every reflecting member with a refracting power forming the projection optical system are arranged along a single optical axis (AX) and the projection optical system has an effective imaging area of a predetermined shape not including the optical axis.

摘要:
Oblique projector, capable of rear-projection, wherein a luminous flux, from one conjugate surface (A), having a divergence angle of at least 10° sequentially passes through a first optical system (30) having a convergent action in the vicinity of its reference axis and a second optical system (31) having a divergent action in the vicinity of its reference axis, and images on another conjugate surface (B). A specific condition is given to the converging distance of each converging point at a luminous flux section, including a principal ray according to the passing position of the luminous flux through the first optical system (30) to thereby implement an oblique-incident optical system having a half angle of at least 60° and a comparatively simple structure irrespective of the type of optical element used.

Microlithographic reduction projection catadioptric objective, which is devoid of planar folding mirrors and which comprises an aperture plane (stop) on the image side of the most imageward curved mirror (M34). After the most imageward curved mirror (M34) the beam is diverging. The most imageward curved mirror (M34) is convex. The objective consists in sequence from the object side (Ob) to the image side (Im) of a catadioptric group (L31-L35, M31, M32) giving a real intermediate image (Imi), a catoptric or catadioptric group (M33, M34) giving a virtual image, and a dioptric group (FLG') giving a real image.
