A pulse oscillating type solid laser unit that has a laser unit body whose exciting source is a laser diode that emits light in a principal energy absorbing spectrum of a solid laser activated media, and characterized by that prior to radiating laser light outside the laser unit body as a calibrating operation of a pulse laser output value, specified several varieties of rectangle pulse current values are conducted to a laser diode inside the pulse oscillating type solid laser unit so as to pulse-oscillate the laser unit body, a mean laser output value in each rectangle pulse current value is measured by the use of a laser output measuring instrument arranged inside the laser unit body so as to obtain a mean laser output value data, and in case that the laser output light is radiated outside the laser unit body, a pulse current value linear-predicted based on an obtained mean output value data is conducted to the laser diode so as to obtain a desired pulse laser output value.
A laser process unit mainly comprising a pulse oscillating type solid laser unit whose exciting source is a laser diode that emits light in a principal energy absorbing spectrum of a solid laser activated media, and characterized by that comprising a measuring instrument that measures radiated laser light output on a full-time basis, a maximum value judge means that obtains the maximum value of the laser light output value measured during a specific monitor period while laser light is radiated, an error judge means that compares the maximum value with a specific laser output value as a monitor level after an elapsed time of the predetermined specific monitor period and judges whether the maximum value is within a specific range or not and a trouble shooting means that displays an alarm content and simultaneously halts an operation of at least the pulse oscillating type solid laser unit when the error judge means judges the maximum value out of the specific range.
