    摘要: A gas supply system may include a first gas supply line, a second gas supply line, a circulation gas pipe, a gas purification unit, a first valve, and a second valve. The first gas supply line may include a first branching point at which the first gas supply line branches into a first branch connected to a first chamber and a second branch connected to a second chamber and the second gas supply line may include a second branching point at which the second gas supply line branches into a third branch connected to the first chamber and a fourth branch connected to the second chamber. A first portion of the first gas supply line upstream from the first branching point and a second portion of the second gas supply line upstream from the second branching point may be constituted by separate pipes from each other.

    摘要: A gas laser apparatus may include: a laser chamber connected through a first control valve to a first laser gas supply source that supplies a first laser gas containing a halogen gas; a purification column that removes at least a part of the halogen gas and a halogen compound from at least a part of a gas exhausted from the laser chamber; a booster pump; and a controller that calculates, on a basis of a first amount of a gas supplied from the booster pump to the laser chamber, a second amount of the first laser gas that is to be supplied to the laser chamber and controls the first control valve on a basis of a result of the calculation of the second amount.
