    摘要: A chamber apparatus for operating with a laser apparatus includes a chamber, a target supply unit, a collection unit and a collection container. The chamber includes an inlet through which a laser beam from the laser apparatus enters the chamber. The target supply unit is configured to supply a target material to a predetermined region inside the chamber. The collection unit includes a debris entering surface so that debris generated when the target material is irradiated with the laser beam enters the debris entering surface. The debris entering surface is inclined with respect to a direction in which the debris enters the debris entering surface. The collection container collects the debris flowing out of the collection unit.

    摘要: A gas discharge chamber that uses a calcium fluoride crystal which reduces a breakage due to mechanical stress (window holder and laser gas pressure), thermal stress from light absorption, and the like, increases the degree of linear polarization of output laser, and suppresses degradation due to strong ultraviolet (ArF, in particular) laser light irradiation. A first window (2) and a second window (3) of the gas discharge chamber have an incident plane and an emitting plane in parallel with a (111) crystal plane of their calcium fluoride crystal. With respect to an arrangement where laser light entering the calcium fluoride crystal passes through a plane including a axis and a axis of each of the first window (2) and the second window (3) as seen from inside the chamber (1), the first window (2) and the second window (3) are arranged in positions rotated in the same direction by the same angle about their axis.

Oscillation laser light having divergence is used as the oscillation-stage laser (50), and the amplification-stage laser (60) comprises a Fabry-Perot etalon resonator made up of an input side mirror (1) and an output side mirror (2). The resonator is configured as a stable resonator.
