Optical system and method for operating the same

In a process for operating an optical system, which consists of optical element(s) (A) at an electrical potential P0 for radiation in the extreme UV (EUV) or x-ray wavelength range and first electrode(s) (B), in which a potential difference (pd) is applied between (A) and (B), the novelty is that (B...

Zusammenfassung:In a process for operating an optical system, which consists of optical element(s) (A) at an electrical potential P0 for radiation in the extreme UV (EUV) or x-ray wavelength range and first electrode(s) (B), in which a potential difference (pd) is applied between (A) and (B), the novelty is that (B) is at a first potential P11 less than P0 relative to (A) during irradiation of (A) in the operating mode (OM) of the system. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) optical system with a switch for producing a pd between (A) and (B); (2) normal incidence collector mirror for EUV or soft x-radiation; (3) optical system with normal incidence collector mirror.
