Patent number: 11209635Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for magnification compensation and/or beam steering in optical systems. An optical system may include a lens system to receive first radiation associated with an object and direct second radiation associated with an image of the object toward an image plane. The lens system may include a set of lenses, and an actuator system to selectively adjust the set of lenses to adjust a magnification associated with the image symmetrically along a first and a second direction. The lens system may also include a beam steering lens to direct the first radiation to provide the second radiation. In some examples, the lens system may also include a second set of lenses, where the actuator system may also selectively adjust the second set of lenses to adjust the magnification along the first or the second direction. Related methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: SUSS MICROTEC PHOTONIC SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Yanrong Yuan, John Bjorkman, Paul Ferrari, Jeff Hansen

Patent number: 11175487Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for optical distortion reduction in projection systems for scanning projection and/or lithography. A projection system includes an illumination system configured to generate illumination radiation for generating an image of an object to be projected onto an image plane of the projection system. The illumination system includes a field omitting illumination condenser configured to receive the illumination radiation from a radiation source and provide a patterned illumination radiation beam to generate the image of the object, wherein the patterned illumination radiation beam comprises an omitted illumination portion corresponding to a ridge line of a roof prism disposed within an optical path of the projection system.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: SUSS MICROTEC PHOTONIC SYSTEMS INC.Inventors: Paul Ferrari, Yanrong Yuan, Jeff Hansen, Gerrad Killion
