Abstract

The laser processing apparatus includes lasers for emitting a plurality of laser beams of different wavelengths, a common phase grating for splitting the laser beams of different wavelengths into diffraction beams shaped in designed arrays, and a condenser lens for condensing the diffraction beams. The layout of the focused diffraction beam spots of each wavelength is decided in accordance with the design of the phase grating.
