    Abstract: A narrow-band laser comprising: a laser generating section having laser activity and capable of generating laser beam; band narrowing means which is provided on one end side of the laser generating section on the optical axis of the laser beam generated in the laser generating section to narrow the band of the laser beam by means of at least one angle-dispersion wavelength selection element, fold back the laser beam in the narrowed band and output the folded laser beam toward the laser generating section; beam folding means which is provided on the other end of the laser generating section on the optical axis of the laser beam generated in the laser generating section to fold back the input laser beam and reflect the folded laser beam into the laser generating section; and a laser branching optical unit which is provided between the laser generating section and the band narrowing means to permit part of the laser beam input from the laser generating section to pass therethrough into the band narrowing means while deflecting the remaining part of the laser beam and drawing out the same as an output beam. The laser is constructed so that the light which has passed straight through the laser branching optical unit is input into the band narrowing means, thereby stabilizing a resonance system to eliminate multiwavelength oscillation accompanying the vibration.

    Abstract: A wavelength detector in which reference light (31) generated in a reference light source (30) and light (11) to be detected are directed to an etalon (62), and the light that has transmitted through the etalon is detected by light detecting means (64). The front focal surface (50) of a collimator lens (61) is irradiated with the reference light and the light to be detected. These lights are converted into parallel rays through the collimator lens and fall on the etalon. The reference light and the light to be detected that have passed through the etalon are focused by focusing lens means (63) on the detecting surface of light detecting means to form thereon interference fringes that correspond to the reference light and the light to be detected. Based on the interference fringes, relative wavelength of the light to be detected to the reference light, i.e., the absolute wavelength of the light to be detected, is measured.

    Abstract: A device for controlling the output of an excimer laser adapted for use as a source of light particularly for a reduction projection exposure device in which at least two etalons with a large diameter are arranged between a rear mirror and a laser chamber, and the superposition of transmission wavelengths of the etalons is so controlled as to narrow the band of the output laser beam yet maintaining the number of spatial transverse modes. The superposition is controlled by a superposition control device and the intensity for exciting the laser gas is controlled by an excitation intensity control device, while partial exchange of gas is controlled by a gas control device all maintaining predetermined timings.
