    Abstract: On the basis of a known method for producing a blank of titanium-doped glass with a high silica content (glass) for a mirror substrate for use in EUV lithography which has a surface region that has an outer contour, is intended to be provided with a reflective coating and is specified as a highly loaded zone when the mirror substrate is used as intended, in order to provide a blank which can be produced at low cost and nevertheless meets high requirements with respect to homogeneity and freedom from blisters and striae, a procedure which comprises the following method steps is proposed: (a) producing a front body of titanium-doped high-quality glass with dimensions more than large enough to enclose the outer contour, (b) producing a cylindrical supporting body from titanium-doped glass, (c) bonding the front body and the supporting body to form a composite body, and (d) working the composite body to form the mirror substrate blank, wherein the step of producing the front body comprises a homogenizing process involving twisting a starting body obtained in the form of a strand by flame hydrolysis of a silicon-containing compound to form a front body blank, and the supporting body is formed as a monolithic glass block with less homogeneity than the front body.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a GRIN lens includes the steps of forming a wet gel provided with a concentration distribution having a different concentration of a refractive index distribution imparting metal that differs in concentration in a radial direction, drying the wet gel to form a dry gel having a bulk specific gravity ρ (g/cm3), sintering the dry gel to form a GRIN lens base material and stretching the GRIN lens base material while heating. The method is characterized in that, in the step of sintering the dry gel, partial pressures of oxygen during sintering at 800° C. or higher are 10−1 Pa or lower and also the relation between a rate of temperature increase v (° C./hr) and a bulk density ρ of the dry gel during sintering at 1,000 to 1,150° C. is defined by v≦105*EXP (−12ρ). As a result of this, the GRIN lens, which has a large numerical aperture and a small diameter, can stably and easily be manufactured.
