1. A laser apparatus, comprising:
a laser generator generating at least one input light, wherein the input light is a laser beam;
an optical system converting the input light, which is provided from the laser generator, into an output light including a plurality of pattern lights; and
a stage, on which a target object is loaded, the output light being irradiated onto the target object,
wherein the optical system includes a light dividing part, a light condensing part, and a first processing part disposed on a focal point of the light condensing part and divides the input light into a plurality of divided lights having at least partially different phases,
the pattern lights are produced by constructive interference of the plurality of divided lights, and
a diameter of each of the pattern lights is smaller than a diameter of the input light.
