Abstract: An optical fiber laser device generates laser light by using an optical amplifying fiber as an amplification medium in a laser oscillator and includes: an optical outputting fiber configured to emit laser light to an outside; a return-light-attenuating portion configured to perform an attenuation process to return light propagating through at least the optical outputting fiber in a reverse direction of the laser light; a thermal conversion unit provided at the return-light-attenuating portion and configured to convert the return light into heat; a temperature-monitoring device configured to measure an increase in a temperature, of the return-light-attenuating portion, caused by the heat converted by the thermal conversion unit; and a control unit configured to decrease or stop an output of the laser light when the temperature measured by the temperature-monitoring device becomes a predetermined threshold temperature or higher.

Abstract: A welding method includes: disposing a workpiece formed by stacking a plurality of metal foils in an area to be irradiated with laser light that contains a plurality of beams; irradiating a surface of the workpiece with the beams of the laser light by dispersing positions of the beams such that centers of the beams do not overlap with each other within a prescribed area on the surface; melting an irradiated part of the workpiece and performing welding; and setting each of the beams to have a power density with which no hole opens in the metal foils, and setting the power density of the beams and dispersing irradiating positions to be emitted so as to form a weld pool penetrating the workpiece by the beams.
