Abstract
A mirror serves for use for guiding illumination and imaging light in EUV projection lithography. The mirror has a reflective surface, the reflective surface forming a magnetic field in such a way that at least one polarization property of the illumination and imaging light is influenced via the magnetic field upon reflection. A mirror system has, besides the mirror, additionally a magnetization predefining device for predefining a magnetization of the reflective surface of the mirror. An illumination optical unit has at least one mirror of this type or at least one facet mirror device comprising at least one individual mirror constructed in this way. In the case of a mirror of this type, the illumination and/or imaging properties of illumination and/or imaging light guided via the mirror are improved.
