Abstract: A pulse width expansion apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a polarization beam splitter and a transfer optical system. The transfer optical system includes ¼-wavelength and reflection mirror pairs. The ¼-wavelength mirror pair include first and second ¼-wavelength mirrors. The first ¼-wavelength mirror provides ¼-wavelength phase shift and reflects a pulse laser beam. The second ¼-wavelength mirror provides ¼-wavelength phase shift and reflects the pulse laser beam reflected by the first ¼-wavelength mirror. The reflection mirror pair are disposed on an optical path before and after or between the ¼-wavelength mirror pair. The transfer optical system transfers an image of an input pulse laser beam on the polarization beam splitter to the optical path between the ¼-wavelength mirror pair at one-to-one magnification as a first transfer image and transfers the first transfer image to the polarization beam splitter at one-to-one magnification as a second transfer image.

Abstract: A wavelength control method of a laser apparatus includes sequentially obtaining target wavelength data of a pulse laser beam, sequentially saving the target wavelength data, sequentially measuring a wavelength of the pulse laser beam to obtain a measured wavelength, calculating a wavelength deviation using the measured wavelength and the target wavelength data at a time before a time when the measured wavelength is obtained, and feedback-controlling the wavelength of the pulse laser beam using the wavelength deviation.
