    摘要: A lithographic apparatus includes a support constructed to support a patterning device that is capable of imparting a radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section to form a patterned radiation beam, a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate, a projection system configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate, an interior space through which an interferometer beam propagates, and a first gas supply for supplying a purge gas to inhibit contamination of the projection system. The purge gas has a predetermined refractive index. The apparatus also includes a second gas supply for supplying a conditioning gas to the interior space for conditioning the interior space, and a refractive index matching system arranged to match the refractive index of the conditioning gas to the predetermined refractive index of the purge gas.
