摘要:
An optical isolator with a collimator which is used at the tip end of a laser beam transmitting fiber utilized in a laser processing. The optical isolator can provide solutions to the problems how to make return lights to be isolated from an incident light path and how to prevent the light energy from being conducted to an incident fiber, a laser oscillator, the collimator, and the optical isolator. The solutions comprise light-receiving fibers (22 and 23) disposed at focal points of a collimator lens (5) to which reflected lights from a workpiece return through the optical isolator. The return lights are then led to a ceramic tube (24) where the return light energy is converted to thermal energy and dissipated.
