    Abstract: A catoptric system having a reference axis and including a reflective pattern-source (carrying a substantially one-dimensional pattern) and a combination of only three optical components disposed sequentially to transfer EUV radiation incident the first optical component onto the pattern-source. The combination is disposed in a fixed spatial and optical relationship with respect to the patternsource, and represents an illumination unit (IU) of a 1D EUV exposure tool that additionally includes |includes a projection optic sub-system configured to form an optical image of the patternsource on an image plane with the use of only two beams of radiation. These only two beams of radiation originate at the pattern-source from the EUV radiation transferred onto the pattern-source.

    Abstract: An aulofocus system for measuring the position of a work piece along an axis includes a slit light source assembly, a slit detector assembly, and a control system The slit light source assembly directs a first slit of light at a first slit area of the work piece The slit detector assembly detects light reflected off of the first slit area and generates a first slit signal relating to the amount of light reflected off of the first slit area at the slit detector assembly The control system uses the first slit signal from the slit detector assembly, and first reflectance information of the first slit area to determine the position of the work piece along the axis With this design, the autofocus system can compensate for the changes in reflectivity of the work piece As a result thereof, measurements taken with the autofocus system are more accurate and the work piece can be positioned with improved accuracy

    Abstract: An integrated optical assembly is provided, with enhancements that are particularly useful when the integrated optical assembly forms part of a laser radar system. The integrated optical assembly produces a reference beam that is related to the optical characteristics of a scanning reflector, or to changes in position or orientation of the scanning reflector relative to a source. Thus, if the scanning reflector orientation were to shift from its intended orientation (due e.g. to thermal expansion) or if characteristics of the scanning reflector (e.g. the index of refraction of the scanning reflector) were to change on account of temperature changes, the reference beam can be used to provide data that can be used to account for such changes. In addition, if the scanning reflector were to be positioned in an orientation other than the orientation desired, the reference beam can be used in identifying and correcting that positioning.

    Abstract: A catoptric system having a reference axis and first, second, and third reflectors. The first reflector contains a pattern-source carrying a substantially one-dimensional pattern. A combination of the second and third reflectors is configured to form an optical image of the pattern, with a demagnification coefficient N > 1 in extreme UV light, and with only two beams of light that have originated at the first reflector as a result of irradiation of the first reflector with light incident upon it. An exposure apparatus employing the catoptric system and method of device manufacturing with the use of the exposure apparatus.

    Abstract: Laser radar systems include focusing optical systems having a retroreflector such as a corner cube that is translatable with respect to an objective lens. The retroreflector provides a selected retardance to an interrogation optical beam that is directed to a target as well as to a returned portion of the interrogation optical beam that is directed to a detection system. Typically, an input linearly polarized interrogation beam is returned by the retroreflector as a circularly polarized beam that is directed to the target. Returned beam portions from the target are coupled by the retroreflector to a detection system in a linear polarization that is orthogonal to that of the input linearly polarized optical beam. The retroreflector produces state of polarization changes based on retardance associated with total internal reflection from coated or uncoated optical surfaces. Retroreflector surfaces that are not to introduce retardance are coated with suitable zero or low retardance coatings.

    Abstract: An optical system includes a first optical system, a second optical system, and a third optical system. The first optical system divides an input beam into a first light and a second light. The second optical system includes a concave reflective surface which reflects the first light. The third optical system directs at least one of the first light reflected from the second optical system and the second light from the first optical system to an output optical path of the third optical system.
