Zusammenfassung: | To prevent the extinction ratio of polarized light irradiating a work from lowering even when the polarization direction of the incident polarized light on a reflection mirror is varied. Light from a lamp 1 is made incident on a polarizing element 8. Polarized light emitted by the polarizing element 8 is reflected by a second plane mirror 6 and irradiates an alignment layer of the work W via a mask M. A protective film 11 is formed on a surface of the second plane mirror 6. The kind of the protective film 11 and the optical thickness of the film is selected so as to make difference in a phase shift Delta between P polarized light component and S polarized light component emitted from the second plane mirror 6 satisfy an inequality Delta |
