    摘要: A position detecting apparatus for detecting the position of a substrate in an interval direction in which the substrate is spaced by an interval form a pattern-printing projection optical system for printing pattern on the substrate includes first and second luminous flux projecting and receiving systems and a detector. The first luminous flux projecting system projects a first luminous flux to the substrate form a direction oblique to the interval direction. The first luminous flux receiving system receives a first luminous flux after the first luminous flux is reflected form the substrate. The second luminous flux projecting system projects a second luminous flux to a reflection member secured to the bottom end of the pattern-printing projection optical system. The second luminous flux receiving system receives the second luminous flux after the second luminous flux is reflected by the reflection member. The detection detects the position of the substrate in the interval direction by detecting the position at which the first luminous flux receiving system receives the first luminous flux and by detecting the position at which the second luminous flux receiving system receives the second luminous flux.

    摘要: A light source portion having an acousto-optic element produces a laser beam of two light components having a frequency difference .DELTA.w and having registered polarization directions. The laser beam is subsequently divided by a half mirror. One of the divided laser beams is detected by a photoelectric detector as reference light, and a corresponding signal is applied to a synchronism detector. The other laser beam is projected by a scanning optical system to the surface of, e.g., an original to be examined to scan the same. At the position on the surface irradiated by the scanning light spot, the laser beam is modulated at a beat frequency .DELTA.w on the basis of optical heterodyne interference. A synchronism detector detects a signal corresponding to the scattered light from a particle or defect on the surface being examined, in synchronism with the frequency of the reference light, whereby the particle or defect can be detected with a good signal-to-noise ratio.
