    Abstract: The laser apparatus includes a master oscillator, an amplifier, a power source, and a controller to control the power source. The controller controls the power source such that an excitation intensity of the amplifier in a burst oscillation period performing the burst oscillation is a first excitation intensity, controls the power source such that, if the predetermined repetition frequency is a first repetition frequency, an excitation intensity of the amplifier in a suspension period suspending the burst oscillation is a second excitation intensity equal to or lower than the first excitation intensity, and controls the power source such that, if the predetermined repetition frequency is a second repetition frequency higher than the first repetition frequency, the excitation intensity of the amplifier in the suspension period is a third excitation intensity lower than the second excitation intensity.
