    Abstract: A laser beam irradiating unit of a laser processing apparatus includes a laser oscillating mechanism. The laser oscillating mechanism includes a group setting unit configured to, on a condition that a pulsed laser beam is applied at shorter time intervals than a length of time that molten debris is generated, set the number of pulsed laser beams to be applied until a time that the molten debris is solidified and set the number of pulsed laser beams as one group. A time interval setting unit is configured to set a time until heat generated by application of the pulsed laser beams of the one group is cooled, which serves as a time interval between the one group and an adjacent group, and set time intervals of the pulsed laser beams constituting the one group. The laser oscillating mechanism sets a repetition frequency with the one group as one unit.
