Abstract
A system comprises a reflective optical element with a reflective surface that is configured to reflect a radiation beam. The reflective optical element also has a body. The system includes a thermal conditioning mechanism operative to thermally induce a deformation of the body under control of a controller. By means of controllably deforming the body, the shape of the reflective surface can be adjusted in a controlled manner.
