Abstract
A laser oscillator has a casing 10. A cooling medium is supplied from an inlet port 134 to a heat exchanger 8 via a pipe 35, and discharged form it via a pipe 37 and an outlet port 136. The ports 134 and 136 are symmetrically positioned relative to a center line of the casing when seen from upward. An inlet port 340 and an outlet port 342 have a similar positional relation ship thereto.
Claims5
A laser oscillator comprising:
- a casing sealingly containing a laser medium gas;
- a pair of discharging electrodes oppositely disposed in the casing so as to oscillate a laser beam by use of the laser medium gas;
- a circulating means for circulating the laser medium gas in the casing;
- a heat exchanger disposed in the casing to cool the laser medium gas that is heated by discharge generated by the discharging electrodes;
- an inlet port and an outlet port disposed on the casing to supply and discharge a cooling medium to and from the heat exchanger;
- passage forming members disposed respectively in the inlet port and the outlet port;
- and
- insulating members respectively interposed between the inlet port and outlet port and the passage forming members so as to heatingly insulate the ports and the passage forming member.
