Abstract

See full text

A total internal reflection light illumination apparatus includes a light source providing illumination light L1, a spatial light modulator inputting the illumination light L1 and converging and outputting the illumination light L1 by presenting a lens pattern, an objective lens illuminating an object substrate with illumination light L2 converged and output by the spatial light modulator, and a calculation unit providing, to the spatial light modulator, the lens pattern corresponding to at least one of a desired polarization state, desired penetration length, desired shape, and desired light intensity of the evanescent light L3. The lens pattern converges the illumination light L2 on a pupil plane of the objective lens.
