Abstract: A laser processing device capable of recognizing a failure of pulsed laser beam irradiation during a process of pulsed laser beam irradiation and taking appropriate measures. A first judgment section and a second judgment section monitor respectively whether a pulsed laser beam is actually irradiated by an oscillation of a laser oscillator at the timing when a pulse signal is output from a pulse signal output section and whether the pulse signal output section outputs the pulse signal as setting to the laser oscillator at the timing when the pulse signal is output based on the preset pulse number. When there is a failure of the pulsed laser beam irradiation during the processing, the occurrence of failure is recognized and it can be recognized whether the failure is caused by a laser beam irradiating unit or a controller including the pulse signal output section.

Abstract: A laser beam irradiation apparatus includes an oscillation unit, an acousto-optic deflection unit for deflecting a laser beam oscillated by the oscillation unit, a condenser for condensing the deflected laser beam, and a control unit. The control unit determines an actual output power of the laser beam based on a light reception signal received from laser beam output detection means in response to a control signal for controlling a deflection angle adjustment unit of the deflection unit. Then, the control unit arithmetically operates the ratio of an actual output power corresponding to the control signal with reference to the lowest value of the actual output power. Further, the control unit arithmetically operates a correction value corresponding to the ratio of the actual output power to produce a control map and controls the output adjustment unit based on the control map.
