    摘要: There is provided a wavefront measuring method for obtaining wavefront information of an optical system. The method including: irradiating the optical system with a light beam; allowing the light beam passed via the optical system to come into a diffraction grating having periodicity in a first direction; and obtaining the wavefront information based on an interference fringe formed by light beams generated from the diffraction grating. The diffraction grating including: first portions which allow light to pass therethrough; and second portions which shield light, each of the second portions being provided between two of the first portions. A ratio between a width of one of the first portions in the first direction and a width of one of the second portions in the first direction is changed in the first direction, the one of the first portions and the one of the second portions being adjacent to each other.

    摘要: The present invention provides extended depth of field or focus to conventional Amplitude Contrast imaging systems. This is accomplished by including a Wavefront Coding mask in the system to apply phase variations to the wavefront transmitted by the Phase Object being imaged. The phase variations induced by the Wavefront Coding mask code the wavefront and cause the optical transfer function to remain essentially constant within some range away from the in-focus position. This provides a coded image at the detector. Post processing decodes this coded image, resulting in an in-focus image over an increased depth of field.

    摘要: Disclosed in this specification is a scanning device which scans an object having a flat reflection surface and an inclined reflection surface with an inclination relative to the flat reflection surface such as, for example, a mask and a wafer to be used in manufacturing IC, LSI, etc., with light beam, and detects only the reflected light from the inclined reflection surface with a light detector. In order to make it possible to detect only the reflected light from the inclined reflection surface with the light detector, a telecentric objective lens is used as the scanning lens in this scanning device, and the original point of deflection of the above-mentioned scanning light beam coincides with the center of the pupil of this telecentric objective lens. In addition, a filter is disposed on the pupil surface to intercept light from the flat reflection surface. An optical system between the scanning device and the object is of f-.theta.lens characteristics in order to compensate the non-linearity of the scanning beam caused by uniform angular velocity movement of the scanning device or the like.

    摘要: Apparatus for making incoming infrared rays visible includes an infrared optical system which serves to focus the rays through an optical grating onto the surface of a deformable liquid film deposited on a plane face of a transparent prism, the prism being so disposed in the path of a Schlieren-optical system that a beam of visible light produced by a source enters the liquid film from the baCk, is totally internally reflected at its surface adjacent the grating onto a concave mirrored surface of the prism which returns the beam to the liquid where it is again totally internally reflected by the liquid surface and then imaged on the bar-and-slot system of the schlieren-optics. In the absence of incoming infrared rays, the surface of the liquid film remains undeformed and the beam of visible light is turned back into its source. Upon deformation of the liquid surface by incoming infrared rays, visible light returning from the prism passes through the slots of the bar-and-slot system to establish an observable image of the deformation.
