An exposure apparatus performs a relative alignment between a reticle and a substrate, and exposes the substrate to light via a pattern formed on the reticle. The exposure apparatus includes a movable stage that carries one of the reticle and the substrate and a position measurement apparatus that measures a position of at least one of the reticle and the substrate. The position measurement apparatus includes an illumination unit configured to emit light toward a mark that indicates the position of the reticle or the substrate, a light intensity measurement unit configured to measure an intensity of the light, an imaging unit configured to capture an image of the mark, a stage position measurement unit configured to measure a position of the stage, and a signal waveform correction unit configured to correct a signal waveform output from the imaging unit based on a change in stage position and a change in illumination light intensity.
