An extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus includes a first light source outputting first excitation light, a laser oscillator including an active medium and performing laser oscillation by irradiating the active medium with the first excitation light to output the laser light, a measurement instrument measuring a pulse energy and a pulse time width of the laser light, a temperature regulator that adjusts a temperature of a cooling medium that cools the first light source, and a processor. The processor controls the temperature regulator to adjust the temperature of the cooling medium so that the pulse energy measured by the measurement instrument falls within a target range of the pulse energy, and adjust a current value of a current supplied to the first light source so that the pulse time width measured by the measurement instrument falls within a target range of the pulse time width.
An extreme ultraviolet light generation apparatus configured to generate extreme ultraviolet light by irradiating a droplet target with laser light, comprising:
