Abstract
In a laser oscillator, a pair of electrodes is disposed in a housing into which a gas is sealed, a waveguide is formed by the pair of electrodes, and a laser beam is configured to be extracted from an end of the housing. The laser oscillator includes a mirror holder attached to an end of the electrode, the end serving as an end of the waveguide, and a reflection mirror attached to the mirror holder and reflecting a laser beam generated in the waveguide. In the laser oscillator, a passage through which a cooling medium is passed is formed inside each of the pair of electrodes.
Claims4
A laser oscillator in which a pair of electrodes is disposed in a housing into which a gas is sealed, a waveguide is formed by the pair of electrodes, and a laser beam is configured to be extracted from an end of the housing, the laser oscillator comprising:
- a mirror holder directly attached to an end of one of the pair of electrodes, the end serving as an end of the waveguide, so that the mirror holder is capable of sliding on a surface of the end of the one of the pair of electrodes in a vertical direction with respect to a direction of the laser beam;
- and
- a reflection mirror attached to the mirror holder and reflecting a laser beam generated in the waveguide,
- wherein a passage through which a cooling medium is passed is formed inside each of the pair of electrodes.
