Abstract:
A laser apparatus includes a plurality of laser modules, and includes a function for preventing a defect arising when switching the number of laser modules to be driven. The laser apparatus includes the plurality of laser modules, a combiner configured to combine laser beams from the plurality of laser modules, an optical output command section configured to generate a first optical output command for a combined laser beam, and a laser module selection/command section configured to select a laser module to be driven from the plurality of laser modules, based on the first optical output command and to generate a second optical output command for each of the laser modules that have been selected. The laser module selection/command section is configured to set a threshold value for a first optical output command to be different between when increasing and reducing the number of laser modules to be driven.

Claim (Index 4):
The laser apparatus of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the control section is configured to periodically measure, in accordance with a predetermined schedule, an optical output characteristic of the laser module and send the optical output characteristic to the laser module selection/command section, and the laser module selection/command section is configured to store the optical output characteristic and sequentially update the optical output characteristic, based on optical output characteristic data sent from the control section.
