Abstract

A direct diode laser processing apparatus includes a laser oscillator that emits a multiple-wavelength laser beam, a transmission fiber that transmits the multiple-wavelength laser beam emitted from the laser oscillator, and a laser processing machine that condenses the multiple-wavelength laser beam transmitted through the transmission fiber and processes a workpiece. According to chromatic aberrations of the multiple-wavelength laser beam and the wavelength dependence of emissivity of the workpiece, a light intensity distribution of the multiple-wavelength laser beam in a thickness direction of the workpiece is provided with a plurality of peaks.
