  • Patent number: 9662744
    Abstract: A laser irradiation device in which laser light is adjusted to create a laser beam, including a protective glass window arranged in an emission region that emits the laser beam; a reflection mechanism that passes the laser beam and reflects visible light; a wavelength-dependent optical screening mechanism that cuts off light of a wavelength region other than visible light from the light that is reflected by the reflection mechanism; image pickup camera configured to capture the visible light reflected with the reflection optical element; and an image adjustment lens unit that adjusts an image in the visible light that is input from the wavelength-dependent optical screening mechanism. The wavelength-dependent optical screening mechanism is provided between the reflection optical element and the image camera.

  • Publication number: 20140224780
    Abstract: A laser irradiation device comprises a laser oscillator, a laser irradiation head that performs laser processing by directing the laser beam onto the region to be processed; and a transmission mechanism that gets the laser beam through emitted from the laser oscillator to the laser irradiation head. The laser irradiation head comprises: a laser beam adjustment unit that adjusts the laser light to create a laser beam; a protective glass window arranged in an emission region that emits the laser beam; a reflection mechanism that gets the laser beam through and reflects visible light; a wavelength-dependent optical screening mechanism that cuts off light of a wavelength region other than visible light from the light that is reflected by the reflection mechanism; an image adjustment lens unit that adjusts an image comprising visible light that is input from the wavelength-dependent optical screening mechanism; an image pickup camera that inputs an image; and an image processing mechanism that processes the image.
