Abstract
Changing non-mechanically a direction of irradiating a laser. The laser apparatus includes an optical device and a laser irradiation device. The optical device has two reflection mirrors facing each other, and a waveguide between the two reflection mirrors. The laser irradiation device irradiates the optical device with laser. The optical device is configured so that at least a portion of the laser travels on the waveguide by being reflected by the two reflection mirrors in order. The optical device has an output surface that emits a portion of the laser. The laser irradiation device has a plurality of irradiation parts including a first irradiation part that irradiates a first laser and a second irradiation part that irradiates a second laser. When viewed from a normal direction of the output surface, a traveling direction of the first laser is not parallel to a traveling direction of the second laser.
