ABSTRACT:
An optical lighting system comprising either an optical system or an optical mirror system. In the optical lens and optical mirror systems, the light incident and exiting planes of the lenses and mirrors, are formed to satisfy given equations. Accordingly, in a contact or proximity exposure system, it is possible to unify irradiance on a surface to be irradiated and reduce the optical path length, thus reducing the overall device size. In a projection system, it is possible to unify irradiance on an image surface while efficiently utilizing light by ommitting a gradient filter.
