Abstract: A laser oscillation device herein cumulates a value in which a weighting coefficient determined according to a value of a current that has driven light sources is multiplied by a drive time of the light sources every time each of the light source is driven, and stores a cumulative value obtained from thus cumulating while allowing the same to correspond to each of the light sources. Then, an instruction unit of the laser oscillation device determines the number of the light sources to radiate according to an output range of a laser output instruction, and by the number determined, the light sources are configured to be selected in an order from the smaller cumulative value by a selection unit, and only the selected light sources are allowed to radiate by a current control unit.
