Abstract
An optical system includes a first optical system having a first optical element, and a second optical system arranged at a reduction side of the first optical system. An intermediate image is formed between the first optical system and the second optical system. The first optical element has a first reflecting surface having a concave shape. The second optical system has a first relay element, a second relay element arranged at an enlargement side of the first relay element, and a correction optical element arranged at the enlargement side of the second relay element. The first relay element has a first relay reflecting surface having a concave shape. The second relay element has a second relay reflecting surface having a convex shape. The correction optical element curves the intermediate image generated by the first and second relay elements to reduce a field curvature generated by the first optical element.
