Abstract: An inclination , at a pit forming position, of the information
recording surface of an optical disc (1) with respect to a plane (3)
that is perpendicular to laser light (5) emitted from an optical pickup
is detected by a tilt sensor. Pits are formed while the laser
light intensity is increased as the detected inclination  increases.
The illumination light quantity per unit area decreases as the
inclination  of the information recording surface increases. Setting
the laser light intensity at a larger value as the inclination  of
the information recording surface increases makes it possible to
compensate for reduction of the illumination light quantity per unit
area that occurs in association with inclination  of the information
recording surface without the need for correcting the laser light
emitting direction. Therefore, even if the information recording
surface of an optical information recording medium is inclined,
information recording can be performed with a constant laser light
emitting direction.

Abstract: Laser light emitted from a high output laser light
source (LD) is condensed by a condenser lens (CL) to form a
condensed point. Xenon (Xe) gas or the like as a target is
injected from a nozzle (NZL) to the condensed point to generate
Extreme Ultra Violate (EUV) light (EL), and then the generated
EUV light (EL) is condensed by a condenser mirror (CM). A
transmission filter (18) having a predetermined
transmittance with respect to the EUV light is disposed
between the condenser mirror (CM) and a reflecting mirror (17),
and scattering particles mixed in the EUV light are adsorbed
by the transmission filter (18). The EUV light passing
through the transmission filter (18) is deviated by the
reflecting mirror (17), a illuminance distribution of the EUV
light is uniformalized by fly eye mirrors (FEM1, FEM2),
thereafter the EUV light is condensed by another condenser
mirror (CDM), and then exposure is effected using the
condensed EUV light as an exposure beam.

Abstract: A method of improving the signal/noise ratio of a
sigma-delta modulator during the re-establishment of its
stability which comprises the following steps: defining
a bit sequence corresponding to a state of instability of
the modulator, monitoring the flow of bits output by the
modulator to check whether it contains the instability
bit sequence, and resetting the modulator to zero if the
instability bit sequence is detected at the output. To
ensure a high signal/noise ratio of the modulator even
during the detection and re-establishment of stability,
the method also comprises the following steps: delaying
the flow of bits output by the modulator at least for the
time required to detect the instability bit sequence and
modifying the output bit sequence during the delay period
by replacing it with a predetermined bit sequence.
