Abstract

A laser device includes a master oscillator configured to output pulse laser light at a first discharge timing synchronized with a repetition frequency; an amplifier configured to amplify the pulse laser light by exciting, with a charge voltage at a second discharge timing, a laser medium through which the pulse laser light passes; and a processor configured to provide a command on the charge voltage to the amplifier based on a charge voltage command value provided from an exposure apparatus, set the second discharge timing by adding a delay time to the first discharge timing, and perform a process of changing the delay time and a process of correcting the charge voltage command value in accordance with a change of the repetition frequency.
