    Abstract: A position measurement system to measure a position of an object relative to a reference, the position measurement system including two interferometers, wherein each interferometer is configured to form a reference beam and a measurement beam from input radiation and to combine the reference beam and the measurement beam to provide output radiation to be delivered to a detector, wherein each interferometer is configured such that the reference beam is formed by reflection of input radiation from a reflective element, and such that the measurement beam is formed by diffraction of input radiation from a grating on the object, and wherein the reference beam and the measurement beam are parallel to each other.

    Abstract: A displacement measurement system comprising at least one retro reflector and a diffraction grating. Said displacement measurement system is constructed and arranged to measure a displacement by providing a first beam of radiation to the measurement system, wherein the diffraction grating is arranged to diffract the first beam of radiation a first time to form diffracted beams. The at least one retro reflector is arranged to subsequently redirect the diffracted beams to diffract a second time on the diffraction grating. The at least one retro reflector is arranged to redirect the diffraction beams to diffract at least a third time on the diffraction grating before the diffracted beams are being recombined to form a second beam. And the displacement system is provided with a sensor configured to receive the second beam and determine the displacement from an intensity of the second beam.

    Abstract: A lithographic apparatus having a substrate table, a projection system, an encoder system, a measurement frame and a measurement system. The substrate table has a holding surface for holding a substrate. The projection system is for projecting an image on the substrate. The encoder system is for providing a signal representative of a position of the substrate table. The measurement system is for measuring a property of the lithographic apparatus. The holding surface is along a plane. The projection system is at a first side of the plane. The measurement frame is arranged to support at least part of the encoder system and at least part of the measurement system at a second side of the plane different from the first side.
