摘要: A laser apparatus includes a chamber accommodating a pair of discharge electrodes, a gas supply and exhaust device configured to supply laser gas to an interior of the chamber and exhaust laser gas from the interior of the chamber, and a controller. The controller performs first control to control the gas supply and exhaust device so as to suspend laser oscillation and replace laser gas in the chamber at every first number of pulses or first elapsed time, and second control to control the gas supply and exhaust device so as to suspend laser oscillation and replace laser gas in the chamber before the first control at every second number of pulses less than the first number of pulses or second elapsed time less than the first elapsed time.

摘要: A laser system includes an oscillation stage laser configured to output first laser light, and an amplification stage laser configured to amplify the first laser light and output second laser light. A control method of the laser system includes determining a condition under which an amplification characteristic of the amplification stage laser changes, acquiring relationship between pulse energy of the first laser light and a parameter of the second laser light when the condition is determined to be satisfied, and setting target pulse energy of the first laser light based on the relationship.

摘要: The laser system may include a delay circuit unit, first and second trigger-correction units, and a clock generator. The delay circuit unit may receive a trigger signal, output a first delay signal obtained by delaying the trigger signal by a first delay time, and output a second delay signal obtained by delaying the trigger signal by a second delay time. The first trigger-correction unit may receive the first delay signal and output a first switch signal obtained by delaying the first delay signal by a first correction time. The second trigger-correction unit may receive the second delay signal and output a second switch signal obtained by delaying the second delay signal by a second correction time. The clock generator may generate a clock signal that is common to the delay circuit unit and the first and second trigger-correction units.
