    摘要: A projection optical system is a catoptric system in which a field of view region and an imaging region are located spaced from an optical axis, in which a numerical aperture of light reaching each point on an image plane is substantially uniform regardless of an image height and a direction. An aperture stop for defining the numerical aperture of the projection optical system is provided, and the aperture stop is provided with an aperture portion in a predetermined shape in which the numerical aperture of light reaching each point within a predetermined region is substantially uniform over the predetermined region, that is, in a shape in which dimensions concerning two directions perpendicular to each other are different from each other. A predetermined shape of the aperture portion is defined so as to compensate for the effect of non-uniformity of the numerical aperture of light reaching each point within a predetermined region due to a partial optical system arranged between the aperture stop and an image plane not satisfying a desired projective relationship.

    摘要: A catadioptric optical system (10, 110) capable of forming an image of an object. The system comprises a first optical axis (Z.sub.1) having a first end (12) and a second end (14), with a concave mirror (M.sub.C) arranged at the first end. A second surface (P.sub.2) orthogonal to the first optical axis is provided at the second end. A reflective surface (M) is arranged between the concave mirror and the second surface. A first imaging optical system (A) comprising a first plurality of lenses (L.sub.1 -L.sub.4) is arranged between the reflective surface and the concave mirror. A second imaging optical system (B) comprising a second plurality of lenses (L.sub.5 -L.sub.9) is arranged between the reflective surface and the second surface. The system further includes a second optical axis (Z.sub.2) intersecting the first optical axis at the reflective surface and having a first surface (P.sub.1) disposed along and orthogonal to the secondary optical axis. The first surface is divided into first and second regions (30 and 32) by a line of intersection Q.sub.1, between the first surface and a plane containing the first optical axis and the second optical axis. The object is arranged in one of the first and second regions of the first surface. The image is formed in one of first and second regions (36 and 38) of the second surface formed by a line of intersection Q.sub.2 between the second surface and a plane containing the first optical axis and the second optical axis. Alternatively, the first and second regions of the first and second surface are formed by a line of intersection between the first and second surface and a plane orthogonal to the first optical axis that includes the second optical axis. Also, an intermediate image (C) of the object is formed in the vicinity of the reflective surface. The system also preferably satisfies a number of design conditions.

    摘要: To use a beam splitting optical system smaller than the conventional beam splitters and to set a longer optical path between a concave, reflective mirror and an image plane. A light beam from an object surface travels through a first converging group to enter a beam splitter, and a light beam reflected by the beam splitter is reflected by a concave, reflective mirror to form an image of patterns on the object surface inside the concave, reflective mirror. A light beam from the image of the patterns passes through the beam splitter and thereafter forms an image of the patterns through a third converging group on an image plane.

    摘要: A zoom lens has, in succession from the object side, a first lens group of positive refractive power, a second lens group of negative refractive power, a third lens group of positive refractive power and a fourth lens group of positive refractive power. The first lens group, the third lens group and the fourth lens group are movable toward the object side for a magnification change from the wide angle end to the telephoto end. The focusing up to a short distance object is made possible by moving the second lens group along the optic axis from the position of its telephoto end toward the object side and moving the third lens group along the optic axis from the position of its telephoto end. The zoom lens satisfies the following condition:-0.5
