Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for beam analysis in an optical system are disclosed, wherein a plurality of beam parameters of a beam propagating along an optical axis are ascertained. The method includes: splitting the beam into a plurality of partial beams which have a focus offset in the longitudinal direction in relation to the optical axis; recording a measurement image produced by these partial beams; carrying out a forward simulation of the beam in the optical system on the basis of estimated initial values for the beam parameters in order to obtain a simulated image; and calculating a set of values for the beam parameters on the basis of the comparison between the simulated image and the measurement image.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of beam parameters comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of beam size, beam decentration, beam inclination, beam divergence, astigmatism, coma and spherical aberration.
