Zusammenfassung:A method and a device determine the heating state of an optical element in an optical system, for example in a microlithographic projection exposure system. Electromagnetic radiation hits an incidence surface of the optical element during operation of the optical system. Using a calibration parameter, an average temperature at the incidence surface is estimated on the basis of a temperature measurement carried out via at least one temperature sensor located a distance from the incidence surface. The calibration parameter is selected differently in accordance with the illumination setting which is set in the optical system.
