Zusammenfassung:A lithographic method includes controlling a phase adjuster of a lithographic apparatus, the phase adjuster being constructed and arranged to adjust a phase of an electric field of a radiation beam traversing an optical element of the phase adjuster, and controlling a signal provided to the phase adjuster that results in an actual time-temperature characteristic of a portion of the optical element, the control being undertaken with reference to a desired time-temperature characteristic of a portion of the optical element, the control of the signal being such that a change in the actual time-temperature characteristic precedes a related change in the desired time-temperature characteristic.
