Abstract

Systems and methods are provided in which an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light generation apparatus used with a laser apparatus is configured to detect an image of a laser beam by which a target has been irradiated. The EUV light generation apparatus may also be configured to control the position at which a laser beam is to be focused and the position of a target, based on the detection result.
