Abstract
A tool holder attached to a main spindle of a machine tool is provided. The tool holder includes a main body that has a tubular shape and extends in a direction away from the main spindle with the tool holder attached to the main spindle; an optically pumped laser that is installed inside the main body and configured to radiate a laser light by using an exciting light provided by a light source; an optical system that guides the laser light radiated by the optically pumped laser so that the laser light is emitted from a leading end of the main body in an extending direction of the main body; and a light-guiding path that guides the exciting light from an outside of the main body to the optically pumped laser.
