Abstract

A direct diode laser processing apparatus includes a laser oscillator including a plurality of laser diodes and emitting a multiple-wavelength laser beam, a transmission fiber transmitting the multiple-wavelength laser beam emitted from the laser oscillator, a laser processing machine collecting the multiple-wavelength laser beam transmitted through the transmission fiber and processes a workpiece, a detecting mechanism sampling part of the multiple-wavelength laser beam and detecting wavelength-by-wavelength light intensities of the sampled laser beam, a monitoring unit monitoring an output decrease in the multiple-wavelength laser beam according to a change in the wavelength-by-wavelength light intensities, and a control module controlling outputs of the plurality of laser diodes according to a monitored result from the monitoring unit. The apparatus properly monitors an output decrease in the multiple-wavelength laser beam.
