In the above laser beam transmission device, when transmitting a CO 2 laser beam with an average power density of 2×10 2 W/cm 2 or more for 5 m or more, the gas such as air inside the protective cover 3 may cause the CO 2 laser beam to As a result, the temperature rises and a temperature difference occurs within the protective cover 3. Inside the protective cover 3 where the temperature distribution has occurred in this way, CO 2
Laser light causes a refraction phenomenon due to the lens effect of the gas, and the intensity distribution of the CO 2 laser light is transformed before being transmitted. As a result, in the case of cutting, for example, the diameter or position of the condensing spot changes, making it impossible to cut normally.

The laser beam transmission device of this invention is constructed as shown in FIG. 2, and the same parts as in the conventional example (FIG. 1) are given the same reference numerals. That is, for example, a pipe-shaped protective cover 3 provided on the optical path where the laser beam 2 emitted from the laser oscillator 1 reaches the workpiece 8 via the total reflection mirror 4 has a pipe-shaped wind cylinder 9 approximately parallel thereto. connected. Inside this wind body 9 is a fan 1.
0 is provided and driven by a motor 11. Furthermore, N 2 gas 12 is introduced into the wind barrel 9 from the outside.

Now, during operation, the average power density is 2×
In the process of transmitting CO 2 laser light with a power of 10 2 W/cm 2 or more to the surface of the workpiece 8 located at a distance of 5 m or more, gas such as air is warmed within the protective cover 3. For example, N2 gas 12 is introduced into the shell 9, stirred together with the gas coming from inside the protective cover 3 by the fan 10, and circulated as shown by the arrow.
As a result, the gas becomes dry.
