Abstract: A method including obtaining a plurality of radiation distributions of measurement radiation redirected by the target, each of the plurality of radiation distributions obtained at a different gap distance between the target and an optical element of a measurement apparatus, the optical element being the nearest optical element to the target used to provide the measurement radiation to the target, and determining a parameter related to the target using data of the plurality of radiation distributions in conjunction with a mathematical model describing the measurement target.

Abstract: Some embodiment describe a reflector comprising a hollow body having an interior surface defining a passage. The interior surface has an optical surface part configured to reflect radiation and a supporter surface part. The optical surface part has a predetermined optical power and the supporter surface part does not. The reflector can be made by providing an axially symmetric mandrel, shaping a part of the circumferential surface of the mandrel to form an inverse optical surface part that is not rotationally symmetric about the axis of the mandrel, forming a reflector body around the mandrel and releasing the reflector body from the mandrel whereby the reflector body has an optical surface defined by the inverse optical surface part and a supporter surface part defined by the rest of the outer surface of the mandrel.

Abstract: A method of position control of an optical component relative to a surface is disclosed. The method may include: obtaining a first signal by a first position measurement process; controlling relative movement between the optical component and the surface for a first range of motion using the first signal; obtaining a second signal by a second position measurement process different than the first position measurement process; and controlling relative movement between the optical component and the surface for a second range of motion using the second signal, the second range of motion being nearer the surface than the first range of motion.
