    Abstract: An optical pulse stretcher includes a beam splitter separating laser light incident on an optical surface thereof into reflection laser light and transmission laser light, a holder fixing the beam splitter with the optical surface of the beam splitter inclined with respect to an optical path axis of the incident laser light, mirrors guiding the reflection laser light to the beam splitter, and a slide mechanism moving the beam splitter in a direction parallel to the optical surface. The slide mechanism includes a slide plate to which the holder is coupled, and a case which holds the slide plate in a movable manner in a slide direction with respect to a base plate on which the mirrors are arranged. The case includes a threaded hole having an internal thread formed on an inner circumference thereof. The slide plate includes a through hole at a position corresponding to the threaded hole.

    Abstract: A line narrowing module includes a mirror including a bottom surface and a reflection surface of light; a grating configured to wavelength-disperse the light reflected by the reflection surface; a base plate to which the bottom surface of the mirror is fixed with an adhesive; a rotation stage configured to rotate the base plate, arranged thereon, about a rotation axis perpendicular to a plane in which the light is wavelength-dispersed to rotate the mirror about the rotation axis; and a drive unit configured to rotate the rotation stage about the rotation axis. A centroid of the mirror, a centroid of the adhesive, a centroid of the base plate, and a centroid of the rotation stage are located on the rotation axis.

    Abstract: A line narrowing gas laser device includes a line narrowing device, an output coupling mirror, a laser chamber arranged on an optical path of an optical resonator, a first holder which supports the output coupling mirror, a second holder which supports the first holder to be rotatable about a rotation axis of the first holder, and an adjustment device supported by the second holder and being in contact with the first holder to rotate the first holder about the rotation axis. The line narrowing device has a characteristic of changing, into a first direction, beam pointing of laser light output toward the output coupling mirror when temperature inside the line narrowing device rises. The second holder and the adjustment device rotate the first holder in a direction in which a change in the first direction in the beam pointing of the laser light is suppressed by thermal expansion.

    Abstract: 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 and connected through a second control valve to a second laser gas supply source that supplies a second laser gas having a lower halogen gas concentration than the first laser 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, connected through a third control valve to the laser chamber, which raises a pressure of a gas having passed through the purification column to a gas pressure that is higher than an operating gas pressure of the laser chamber; and a controller that calculates, on a basis of a first amount of a gas supplied from the booster pump through the third control valve 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.
