<p>A laser beam irradiation apparatus including: a laser beam oscillation unit having a pulsed laser beam oscillator for oscillating a pulsed laser beam, and a repetition frequency setter; an acousto-optical deflector by which the pulsed laser beam oscillated by the laser beam oscillation unit is deflected and the output is adjusted; and a controller for controlling the acousto-optical deflector. The controller outputs to the acousto-optical deflector a driving pulse signal having a predetermined time width including the pulse width of the pulsed laser beam oscillated by the pulsed laser beam oscillator, based on a repetition frequency setting signal from the repetition frequency setter, and outputs a correction pulse signal to the acousto-optical deflector between the driving pulses.</p> |
