Abstract: A laser device includes an optical fiber laser unit including an amplification optical fiber, a plurality of pumping light sources outputting pumping lights for optically pumping the amplification optical fiber, and a controller controlling the pumping light sources. When an instruction value for supplying a predetermined driving electric current to each of the pumping light sources is input to the controller, the controller conducts a control of supplying a compensated electric current value as a driving electric current obtained by multiplying an initial electric current value corresponding to the instruction value by a compensation coefficient and supplying the compensated electric current value to each of the pumping light sources. The compensation coefficient is set to restrain a decrease in a power with time of a laser light output from the optical fiber laser unit.

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.
