Abstract:
An extreme ultraviolet light source apparatus, in which a target material is irradiated with a laser beam from a laser apparatus and the target material is turned into plasma, thereby emitting extreme ultraviolet light, may include a burst control unit configured to control irradiation of the target material is irradiated with the laser beam outputted successively in pulses from the laser apparatus when the extreme ultraviolet light is emitted successively in pulses. The target material is prevented from being turned into plasma by the laser beam while the laser beam is outputted successively in pulses from the laser apparatus when the successive pulsed emission is paused.
