Abstract

An optical system for a lithography machine includes: a main mirror element and a manipulator device for positioning and/or orienting said main mirror element. The optical system also includes an optically active surface for reflecting radiation. The optical system further includes an actuator matrix positioned between the main mirror element and the optically active surface. The actuator matrix is configured to deform the optically active surface to influence the reflective properties of the optically active surface. A gap is present between the actuator matrix and a front side of the main mirror element so that the actuator matrix is spaced apart from the main mirror element.
