Abstract
The present invention allows more freely setting of the polarization direction of illumination light on an illumination surface of an exposure device. A beam transmission system () that transmits, to an exposure device (), a linearly polarized optical beam (L) output from a free electron laser device () includes: an optical beam splitting unit () configured to split the optical beam (L) into a first optical beam (L) and a second optical beam (L); and a first polarization direction rotating unit () configured to rotate the linear polarization direction of the first optical beam (L).
