摘要: The disclosure relates to a mirror module, in particular for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, including a mirror, which has a mirror body and an optically effective surface. The mirror body has a first material, and a supporting structure for connecting the mirror body to an objective structure. The supporting structure has a second material. The first material and the second material differ in terms of their coefficients of thermal expansion by less than 0.5*10−6K−1 in a temperature range around an operating temperature which is reached by the mirror module during operation in the region of the connection of the mirror body to the supporting structure.

摘要: An optical element unit including a first optical element module and a sealing arrangement is disclosed. The first optical element module occupies a first module space and includes a first module component of a first component type and an associated second module component of a second component type. The first component type is optical elements and the second component type being different from the first component type. The sealing arrangement separates the first module space into a first space and a second space and substantially prevents, at least in a first direction, the intrusion of substances from one of the first space and the second space into the other one of the first space and the second space. The first module component at least partially contacts the first space and, at least in its area optically used, not contacting the second space. The second module component at least partially contacts the second space.

摘要: An optical projection unit includes first and second optical element modules. The first optical element module includes a first housing unit and a first optical element received within the first housing unit and having an optically used first region defining a first optical axis. The second optical element module is located adjacent to the first optical element module and includes a second optical element which defines a second optical axis of the optical projection unit. The first housing unit has a central first housing axis and an outer wall extending in a circumferential direction about the first housing axis. The first optical axis is laterally offset and/or inclined with respect to the first housing axis. The first housing axis is substantially collinear with the second optical axis.

摘要: A mirror, such as for a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, comprises an optical effective surface. The mirror comprises a mirror substrate and a plurality of cavities in the mirror substrate. Fluid can be applied to each cavity. A deformation is transferable to the optical effective surface by varying the fluid pressure in the cavities. Related optical systems methods are provided.

摘要: An arrangement for use in a microlithographic optical imaging device includes an optical unit and a supporting structure for supporting the optical unit. The optical unit includes an optical element, a carrier structure for carrying the optical element, and an active actuating device. The optical element is supported on the carrier structure via of the active actuating device. The active actuating device is configured to adjust the optical element during normal operation of the optical imaging device in a maximum movement range, which is predefined by the normal operation of the optical imaging device, with respect to a first reference assigned to the imaging device. The active actuating device is configured so that the maximum movement range is completely covered by actuating movements of the active actuating device with an actuating accuracy predefined by the normal operation of the optical imaging device.
