Abstract

See full text

A method of determining at least one optical property of a projection exposure system is described, wherein the exposure system includes a beam delivery system having a light source for generating an exposure optical beam having light of a first wavelength (.lamda..sub.1) and a second wavelength (.lamda..sub.2), wherein a first ratio is defined as an intensity of light .lamda..sub.2 to an intensity of light .lamda..sub.1 in the exposure optical beam. The method includes supplying at least one measuring optical beam including light of at least .lamda..sub.1 to the projection optical system, detecting wavefronts having traversed the projection optical system, and determining an optical property in dependence of the detected wavefronts, wherein a second ratio of an intensity of light of .lamda..sub.2 to an intensity of light of .lamda..sub.1 in the measuring optical beam being incident on the detector of the wavefront detection system is less than the first ratio.
