Abstract
An exposure apparatus reads an electrical signal from a photoelectric sensor by using the time interval between emission pulses even at a high emission frequency of the light source. A photoelectric sensor attached to an exposure apparatus which exposes a substrate to a pulse beam emitted by a light source for generating a pulse beam has a plurality of photoelectric converters. The photoelectric converters are divided into a plurality of blocks. While charges are read from each block by using one time interval between pulse beams, charges in all the photoelectric converters are read by using a plurality of time intervals between pulse beams.
