    摘要: A system for a projection exposure apparatus which comprises a first component, a second component, and a decoupling device configured to decouple the second component in more than one degree of freedom from mechanical excitations of the first component. The decoupling device comprises first decoupling elements which have a positive stiffness. The decoupling device also comprises second decoupling elements, which have a negative stiffness. The decoupling device further comprises a third component, which is arranged between the first and second components.

    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: A microlithographic projection exposure apparatus includes a projection lens that is configured for immersion operation. For this purpose an immersion liquid is introduced into an immersion space that is located between a last lens of the projection lens on the image side and a photosensitive layer to be exposed. To reduce fluctuations of refractive index resulting from temperature gradients occurring within the immersion liquid, the projection exposure apparatus includes heat transfer elements that heat or cool partial volumes of the immersion liquid so as to achieve an at least substantially homogenous or at least substantially rotationally symmetric temperature distribution within the immersion liquid.

    摘要: An optical arrangement for use in an optical imaging device includes an optical element unit and a detection device and/or an actuating device. The optical element unit includes at least one optical element. The detection device determines in a plurality of M degrees of freedom in each case a detection value which is representative of a relative position or orientation of an element reference of the optical element in relation to a primary reference of the detection device in the respective degree of freedom. The detection device includes a plurality of N detection units, each of which outputs a detection signal which is representative of a distance and/or a displacement of the detection unit in relation to a secondary reference assigned to the optical element and the respective detection unit.
