Abstract

A laser apparatus includes a semiconductor laser element, a waveform calculation unit for calculating input waveform data, a driver circuit for supplying a drive current having a temporal waveform according to the input waveform data to the semiconductor laser element, an optical amplifier for amplifying laser light output from the semiconductor laser element, and a light waveform detection unit for detecting a waveform of laser light after the amplification output from the optical amplifier. The waveform calculation unit compares the waveform of the laser light after the amplification detected by the light waveform detection unit with a target waveform, adjusts a temporal waveform of the input waveform data, and brings the waveform of the laser light after the amplification close to the target waveform.
