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 4):
A laser oscillator comprising:\n a laser beam generating unit; a heat exchanger that cools a surrounding with a refrigerant; a coolant bypass circuit; a coolant circuit connected to the laser beam generating unit and the coolant bypass circuit; a refrigerant circuit connected to the heat exchanger; a coolant circulating unit that circulates a coolant to the laser beam generating unit and the coolant bypass circuit with the aid of the coolant circuit and circulates the refrigerant to the heat exchanger with the aid of the refrigerant circuit; a housing that stores the laser beam generating unit, the heat exchanger, the coolant bypass circuit, the coolant circuit, and the coolant circulating unit; 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 refrigerant supplied to the heat exchanger; a third valve that adjusts a flow rate of the coolant supplied to the coolant bypass circuit; a dew point measuring unit that measures a dewy point inside the housing; a temperature measuring unit that measures a temperature of the coolant; and a control unit that controls the first, second, and third valves on the basis of the dew point and the coolant temperature.
