A laser apparatus including a laser generating portion that generates pulse light having a single wavelength within a range from an infrared band to a visible band. An optical amplifier is optically connected to the laser generating portion, and includes a plurality of fiber optical amplifiers to amplify the pulse light a plurality of times. A wavelength converting portion is optically connected to the optical amplifier, and includes cylindrical lenses and a plurality of non-linear optical crystals to wavelength-convert the amplified pulse light into ultraviolet light. The amplified pulse light is incident on the cylindrical lenses through one of the plurality of non-linear optical crystals and is incident on a different one of the plurality of non-linear optical crystals from the one non-linear optical crystal through the cylindrical lenses.
