    Abstract: A laser apparatus includes an output coupling mirror; a grating that constitutes an optical resonator together with the output coupling mirror; a laser chamber in an optical path of the optical resonator; at least one prism in an optical path between the laser chamber and the grating; a rotary stage including an actuator that rotates the prism to change an incident angle of a laser beam from the laser chamber on the grating; a wavelength measuring unit that measures a central wavelength of the laser beam from the laser chamber through the output coupling mirror; an angle sensor that detects a rotation angle of the prism; a first control unit that controls the actuator at a first operation frequency; and a second control unit that controls the actuator at a second operation frequency.

    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.
