Abstract
An extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus includes a target supply unit, a target passage detection device, a delay circuit, a laser device, a target image capturing device, and a processor. Here, the processor controls the vibrating element to provide irregular intervals between droplet targets adjacent to each other; generates integrated image data by integrating plural pieces of image data imaged at different times; specifies a position, in the integrated image data, of the droplet target most emphasized in the integrated image data; and sets a delay time based on a distance from a position of the most emphasized droplet target to a second detection position.
