Abstract:
A laser system includes: A. a solid-state laser apparatus configured to output a pulse laser beam having light intensity distribution in a Gaussian shape that is rotationally symmetric about an optical path axis; B. an amplifier including a pair of discharge electrodes and configured to amplify the pulse laser beam in a discharge space between the pair of discharge electrodes; and C. a conversion optical system configured to convert the light intensity distribution of the pulse laser beam output from the amplifier into a top hat shape in each of a discharge direction of the pair of discharge electrodes and a direction orthogonal to the discharge direction.
