Abstract
An optical apparatus includes: laser; objective that irradiates a sample with laser light; phase-modulation spatial light modulator that is located at a pupil conjugate position of the objective and modulates a phase of the laser light; scan unit that scans the sample with the laser light; detector that detects observation light from the sample; image generating unit that generates a sample image according to a signal from the detector and control information of the scan unit; and controlling unit that sets for the modulator a modulation amount of the phase of laser light in accordance with a pattern to be formed on the sample using the laser light. According to the pattern to be formed on the sample and a pattern of irradiation with the laser light obtained from the image generated by the image generating unit, the controlling unit corrects the modulation amount that is set for the modulator.
