Abstract:
A laser oscillator having a condensation prevention mechanism capable of extending the life span of a light emitting device while maintaining cost effectiveness as compared to the conventional technique is provided. The laser oscillator includes: a laser beam generating unit; a heat exchanger; a coolant bypass circuit; a coolant circuit connecting these components; a housing storing these components; a coolant circulating unit that circulates a coolant to the laser beam generating unit, the heat exchanger, and the coolant bypass circuit with the aid of the coolant circuit; a first valve that adjusts a flow rate of the coolant supplied to the laser beam generating unit; a second valve that adjusts a flow rate of the coolant supplied to the heat exchanger; a third valve that adjusts the flow rate of the coolant supplied to the coolant bypass circuit; a dew point measuring unit that measures a dew point inside the housing; a temperature measuring unit that measures a coolant temperature; and a control unit that controls the first, second, and third valves on the basis of the dew point and the coolant temperature.

Claim (Index 8):
The laser oscillator according to  claim 1 , wherein when the dew point measured by the dew point measuring unit is higher than the coolant temperature measured by the temperature measuring unit, the control unit closes the first valve and opens the second and third valves to inhibit laser oscillation.
