A position measurement apparatus includes a movable stage structure, a
measurement unit using a laser to measure a moved position of the stage
and to output a corresponding measured value, a first filter configured
to attenuate a first component of a certain frequency region of the
measured value outputted by the measurement unit, a second filter
connected in parallel with the first filter configured to attenuate a
second component other than the certain frequency region of the measured
value outputted by the measurement unit, a third filter connected in
series to the second filter with the series connection of the second and
third filters connected in parallel with the first filter, configured to
attenuate the first component of the certain frequency region of the
measured value outputted by the measurement unit, and a processing unit
configured to combine an output of the first filter and an output of the
series connection of the second and third filters and to thereby output a
first combined value.
