    摘要: A position detecting apparatus usable for aligning mask and a semiconductor wafer, wherein a laser beam produced by a semiconductor laser is projected through a predetermined optical system to alignment marks formed on the mask and the wafer, and the light reflected by the marks are detected by an accumulation type sensor to produce an electrical signal, from which the relative positional relation between the mask and the wafer are detected on the basis of the electrical signal. To obtain proper mark signals, the quantity of light incident on the accumulation sensor is controlled. In this apparatus, the beam emitting strength of the semiconductor laser is made constant, and the control of thee amount of light incident on the accumulation sensor is effected by controlling the operation period of the semiconductor laser. In addition, the actuation timing of the semiconductor laser is advanced from the accumulation start of the accumulation type sensor by the time required for the semiconductor laser to be thermally stabilized after its actuation. The mark detection signal produced by the accumulation sensor is precise.

    摘要: A three-dimensional shape measuring apparatus having a high performance and a reduced drive energy is disclosed. At least a portion of an in-focus state detection optical system having an internal light source is movable while maintaining a light path near an object lens of the optical system. A distance of movement of the movable portion which is moved with auto-focusing operation for an object is measured and the three-dimensional shape is measured precisely with a high stroke. An inclination angle measuring optical system which shares the light path near the object lens with the in-focus state detection optical system and has an internal light source is provided in a common casing. Thus, the distance of movement of the movable part of the in-focus state detection optical system and an inclination angle are simultaneously measured so that the three-dimensional shape can be more precisely measured.

    摘要: A variable-focus optical device comprises an elastomeric member having a gradient of shear modulus along its optical axis, and a deforming member having an aperture adapted for causing projection or sinking of the elastomeric member therethrough or thereat to deform the surface of the elastomeric member. The gradient of shear modulus is preferably one of continuously decreasing from the surface toward the inside of the elastomeric member. The gradient of shear modulus is provided by a concentration gradient of an inorganic substance such as silica dispersed in an elastomeric substance such as polysilioxane.

    摘要: A device for splitting an incident light on an image forming optical system by a relief type diffraction grating. The device is constructed of a transparent substrate and a transparent filling layer having substantially the same refractive index as that of the transparent substrate, and the relief type diffraction grating is formed on the interface between the substrate and the filling layer. With such an arrangement, the reflectively diffracted light is detected by the photodetector without any undue influence in the image-formation based on the transmissively diffracted light.
