1. An injection locking type or MOPA type of laser device, including,
an oscillator for exciting a laser gas by oscillator discharge and oscillating seed laser light with band-narrowed wavelength;
an amplifier for amplifying said seed laser light by amplification discharge to emit output laser light;
a delay circuit for setting a delay time from light emission of said seed laser light to start of said amplification discharge comprising:
a delay time compensation circuit for performing compensation of said delay circuit so that said delay time becomes an optimal delay time.
