A laser apparatus is disclosed. An optical element receives at least a
part of laser light emitted from a laser generation source and generates
interference fringes. Each of first and second two-divided detectors has
two detectors arranged in the direction of which the interference fringes
appear. Each of the detectors detects an amount of light of the
interference fringes. These two-divided detectors are spaced apart for an
odd-number multiple of nearly 1/4 period of interference fringes and
disposed on a plane perpendicular to an optical path of the interference
fringes. Each of first and second calculation sections calculates a first
difference signal of detection signals of two detectors of the
two-divided detector. A selection section selects one of the first and
second difference signals. A determination section determines a
wavelength of the laser light corresponding to a value of the difference
signal selected from the first and second difference signals.
