  • Patent number: 10078271
    Abstract: An optical component comprises a mirror array having a multiplicity of mirror elements, which are each connected to at least one actuator for displacement, a multiplicity of signal lines for the signal-transmitting connection of the actuators to an external, global control/regulating device for predefining an absolute position of the individual mirror elements, and a multiplicity of local regulating devices for regulating the positioning of the mirror elements, wherein the regulating devices are in each case completely integrated into the component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 17, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2018
    Assignee: Carl Zeiss SMT GmbH
    Inventors: Severin Waldis, Matthias Orth, Roger Marc Bostock, Jian Deng, Sebastian Lani, Benedikt Knauf, Christian Kempter
  • Patent number: 9804501
    Abstract: An optical component comprising a mirror array having a multiplicity of mirror elements, which each have at least one degree of freedom of displacement, and which are each connected to at least one actuator for displacement, has a multiplicity of local regulating devices for damping oscillations of the mirror elements, wherein each of the regulating devices in each case has at least one capacitive sensor having at least one moveable electrode and at least one electrode arranged rigidly relative to the carrying structure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9791691
    Abstract: A mirror array having a total surface extending perpendicularly to a surface normal, comprises a multiplicity of mirror elements each having a reflection surface and at least one degree of freedom of displacement, wherein the totality of the mirror elements form a parqueting of a total reflection surface of the mirror array, and wherein the mirror array is embodied modularly as a tile element in such a way that the parqueting of the total reflection surface can be extended by a tiling of a plurality of such mirror arrays.
