The H e -Ne laser beam emitted from the hole is reflected by hitting a reference plane provided on the parabolic mirror parallel to the optical axis of the CO2 laser beam incident on the parabolic mirror, and the reflected light is reflected by a reflecting mirror with a hole. Since the reflected light is further reflected and taken out of the optical path, and this reflected light is observed, the angle of the parabolic mirror can be adjusted using the angle WJme* structure while observing this, making this adjustment easy. Moreover, it is possible to obtain a laser device that can be made accurately and has good focusing ability for CO2 laser light.
