Abstract: An amplifier may include a chamber, and first and second mirrors. The chamber may include a pair of discharge electrodes opposed to each other in a first direction, a laser exciting medium, an input window allowing seed light to pass therethrough into the chamber, and an output window allowing amplified laser light to pass therethrough to outside in a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The first and second mirrors may each include a reflection region, and be opposed to each other in a third direction intersecting with the first direction with the pair of discharge electrodes in between. A projected image of the reflection region of the first mirror in the second direction and a projected image of the reflection region of the second mirror in the second direction may provide a gap of a size equal to or greater than zero in between.

Abstract: An extreme ultraviolet light source apparatus, which is to generate an extreme ultraviolet light by irradiating a target with a main pulse laser light after irradiating the target with a prepulse laser light, the extreme ultraviolet light source apparatus comprises: a prepulse laser light source generating a pre-plasma by irradiating the target with the prepulse laser light while a part of the target remains, the pre-plasma being generated at a different region from a target region, the different region being located on an incident side of the prepulse laser light; and a main pulse laser light source generating the extreme ultraviolet light by irradiating the pre-plasma with the main pulse laser light.
