摘要:
A method of positioning optical elements relative to each other uses an interferometer apparatus comprising a plurality of holograms generating beams of adjustment measuring light which are incident on optical surfaces of the optical elements. Interference patterns generated by superimposing adjustment measuring light of the beams reflected from the surfaces are indicative of positioning errors of the optical elements. The beams of adjustment measuring light may comprise focused beams forming a point focus on the optical surface and beams of light which is orthogonally incident on extended portions on the optical surface.

A method of determining a deviation of an actual shape from a desired shape of an optical surface (12; 103) includes: providing an incoming electromagnetic measuring wave (20; 113), providing two diffractive structures (47, 49; 145, 146, 141, 143) which are respectively designed to reshape the wavefront of an arriving wave, calibrating one of the two diffractive structures (47, 49; 145, 146, 141, 143) by radiating the incoming measuring wave (20; 113) onto the at least one diffractive structure to be calibrated (47, 49; 145, 146, 141, 143) and determining a calibration deviation of the actual wavefront from a desired wavefront of the measuring wave (20; 113) after interaction of the latter with the at least one diffractive structure to be calibrated (47, 49; 145, 146, 141, 143), positioning the two diffractive structures (47; 49; 145, 146, 141, 143) in the optical path of the incoming measuring wave (20; 113) such that individual rays of the measuring wave radiate through both diffractive structures (47; 49; 145, 146, 141, 143), and reshaping the incoming measuring wave (20; 113) by means of the two diffractive structures (47; 49; 145, 146, 141, 143) to form an adapted measuring wave (64; 114), the wavefront of which is adapted to the desired shape of the optical surface (12; 103), positioning the optical surface (12; 103) in the optical path of the adapted measuring wave (64, 114) so that the adapted measuring wave (64; 114) interacts with the optical surface (12; 103) and measuring the wavefront of the adapted measuring wave (64; 114) after interaction of the latter with the optical surface (12; 103).
摘要:
A lens has at least one aspheric lens surface, an objective with at least one aspheric lens surface, and a projection exposure device for microlithography and a method for the production of microstructured components with an objective having at least one aspheric lens surface. The object of the invention is to provide a method by which new designs with aspheric lens surfaces can be generated without consultation with manufacturing, with this object attained by the measure of describing the aspheric lens surfaces by Zernike polynomials, which makes it is possible to undertake a classification of aspheric lens surfaces such that the respective aspheric lens surface can be polished and tested at a justifiable cost when at least two of three, or all three, of certain conditions are present.
