Abstract: A lithographic apparatus includes an optical sensor, a movable body, a support, a deflector system, a first drive system and a second drive system. The movable body is moveable relative to the sensor. The support is for holding the sensor. The first drive system is arranged to move the movable body relative to the sensor. The second drive system is arranged to move the first drive system relative to the sensor. The second drive system is arranged to move the deflector system relative to the sensor. A disturbance is induced by a movement of the movable body. The deflector system is arranged to create a deflecting area for reflecting the disturbance away from the support.

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.
