Abstract

PURPOSE:To adjust easily the optical axis by performing the angle adjustment and the longitudinal position adjustment of a reflection mirror by means independent of each other and providing a spring between a mirror holder and a housing. CONSTITUTION:A mirror holder 7 is so provided that it goes away from an intersection O between an incidence optical axis 1 and an exit optical axis 2 by a spring 29, and a longitudinal adjusting screw 26 is turned to be moved forward or backward properly, and thus, the mirror holder 7 is moved forward or backward. By this adjustment, the surface of a reflection mirror 8 is allowed to coincide with this intersection O. Next, plural, for example, three angle adjusting screws 27 are turned to be moved forward or backward properly, and the mirror holder 7 is rotated around a concave 28 thereby, and the angle of the reflection mirror 8 is adjusted by this rotation so that the incidence optical axis 1 and the exit optical axis 2 are orthogonal to each other and pass the center of an arm respectively.

The output optical axis produces a core pre. This core wobbling increases as the transmission distance of the laser beam increases, and eventually it hits the inner wall of the arm, and the laser beam is no longer transmitted. Therefore, in such joints, each joint must be adjusted so that the incident optical axis and the rotation axis of the reflection mirror match under normal pressure.
Also, it must have a structure that will not cause the optical axis to go awry due to shocks, etc.
