A laser system includes a laser diode that oscillates in a multi-mode and has characteristics in which its oscillation wavelength varies with temperature, a grating that receives a light beam emitted from the laser diode and returns a diffracted beam to the laser diode, a mechanism that changes the wavelength of the diffracted beam returned to the laser diode, a wavelength detector that detects the wavelength of an output beam which is the same as that of the diffracted beam returned to the laser diode, a temperature regulator that maintains the laser diode at a predetermined temperature, and a control unit that controls the mechanism so that the output beam having a predetermined wavelength is output and controls the temperature regulator so that the laser diode oscillates at the predetermined wavelength.
