に用いられるレーザー照射装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a laser irradiation device that is used for medical purposes as a laser scalpel for incision and hemostasis, and for industrial purposes as a machining device for processing parts.

３のＮＡによる制限を受けてしまう。However, since the light guide fiber 3 consists of a core 4 and a craft 5 surrounding it as shown in FIG.
The focal spot diameter determined by the condensing lens 2 and the maximum incident ray angle θ to the light guiding fiber 3. There was a problem in that it was limited by the core diameter and NA of the light guiding fiber 3. That is, in FIG. 6, if the aperture angle due to the diffraction of the laser beam is θ, then the diameter d of the spot P formed by the condenser lens 2 is dIIIθf −···−, where f is the focal length of the condenser lens 2.・・・－・
Determined by (a). Also, the maximum incident ray angle θ. is determined by the beam diameter, the aperture angle θ, and the focal length r of the condenser lens 2. It is clear that -・・−・−・− (b). Therefore, the thin light guiding fiber 3
Even if the focal length is reduced by 1% lf to make the incident spot diameter smaller, the maximum incident ray angle θ remains. is determined by the refractive index of the core 4 and the refractive index of the cladding 5 of the light-guiding fiber 3 (NA = 6τ77+''), where no is the refractive index of the core and n+ is the refractive index of the cladding), the light is is dangerous because it comes out from the side of the light guiding fiber 3. Therefore, if the maximum incident ray angle θ is increased in order to reduce the diameter of the condensing spot, the NA of the light guiding fiber 3 You will be subject to restrictions.

る。In addition, in recent years, various types of light guide fibers have been requested. For example, in medical surgical laser scalpels, there is no problem with the core diameter of the light guide fiber, as shown in Fig. 7. (I want to make the irradiation beam spot P' as small as possible by bringing the emitted light closer to parallel light to increase the number of light beams with an emitted angle of 0° and converging them with lens 6, thereby improving the sharpness of the laser scalpel.) There is a request.

とすると第８図のようになり、出射角の大きい光線の強
度が増した分布となる。However, when the light guide fiber described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-74005 is used by inserting it into the forceps opening of an endoscope, a very thin light guide fiber is desired. The incident spot diameter must be made very small, and for this purpose the focal length r of the condenser lens 2 shown in Fig. 6 must be made very small.
By decreasing , the maximum incident ray angle θ. increases, the intensity of the light ray with a large incident angle increases, and as a result, the intensity of the light ray with a large exit angle also increases in the output light ray. That is, in this case, the relationship between the intensity of light and the angle of incidence (hereinafter referred to as the angular distribution of light) at the incident end surface 3a of the light guide fiber 3 is such that the optical axis is O''
If so, the distribution will be as shown in FIG. 8, where the intensity of light rays with a large exit angle is increased.
基本的に導光用ファイバー３内ではこの角度分布が保た
れるため、導光用ファイバー３の出射端面３ｂでの角度
分布も同様に第８図のようになる。Since this angular distribution is basically maintained within the light guiding fiber 3, the angular distribution at the output end face 3b of the light guiding fiber 3 is also as shown in FIG. 8.
従って、第７図の照射ビームスポットＰ′が小さくなら
ず、このまま外科用レーザーメスとして使用すると切れ
味が非常に悪くなってしまう。Therefore, the irradiation beam spot P' shown in FIG. 7 does not become small, and if used as a surgical laser scalpel as it is, the sharpness will become very poor.

った。In addition, the light guiding fiber is replaced with various types during actual use, but in the case of the above conventional example (Fig. 4), the error in centering the condenser lens 2 and the light guiding fiber 3 is minimized. If the size is not kept small, there is a problem that the laser beam will be irradiated onto the cladding 5 and the support member for one end of the fiber around the craft 5, which is very dangerous.

うにしたものである。[Means and effects for solving the problems] A laser irradiation device according to the present invention is a laser irradiation device comprising a laser oscillator, a condensing optical system, and a light guide fiber arranged in this order, in which the condensing optical system is attached to the laser irradiation device. In addition to being a focal system, part of the condensing optical system and the light guide fiber are replaceable as a unit, so even if the diameter of the incident spot on the light guide fiber is reduced, the maximum incident ray angle can be reduced. In addition, if you center a part of the condensing optical system and the light guiding fiber, it will be easier to center the part of the condensing optical system with other parts. Even if there is an error in
以下、図示した実施例に基づき上記従来例と同一の部材
には同一符号を付して本発明の詳細な説明する。Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment, with the same reference numerals assigned to the same members as in the above-mentioned conventional example.

可能となっている。FIG. 1 shows the optical system of the first embodiment, and 7 and 8 are a first condenser lens and a second condenser lens arranged between the laser oscillator 1 and the light guiding fiber 3. By making the rear focus of the first condenser lens 7 and the front focus of the second condenser lens 8 coincide with each other, these constitute a condensing optical system as an afocal system. Also, by integrating the laser oscillator l and the first condensing lens 7, it becomes a laser body side 9, and by integrating the second condensing lens 8 and the light guiding fiber 3, it becomes a laser probe side 10.
In addition, the laser probe side 10 is detachable and replaceable.

射するようになる。The laser irradiation device according to the present invention is configured as described above, and since the condensing optical system is an afocal system, the light parallel to the optical axis emitted from the laser oscillator 1, that is, the light beam with the maximum intensity of the laser beam, is used for light guiding. The light enters the fiber 3 parallel to the optical axis.

る。Therefore, even if the diameter of the entrance slot 7 to the light guide fiber 3 is made smaller, the maximum incident ray angle can be made smaller, and the 0° incident ray can be made stronger as shown in Fig. 2, and as a result, the output ray Even in this case, the intensity of the 0° emitted light beam can be increased. Therefore, even if the core diameter of the light guide fiber 3 is small, the irradiation beam spot can be made small, and the sharpness of the surgical laser scalpel attached to an endoscope is particularly improved.

るようにすれば良い。Therefore, when attaching a light guide fiber 3' having a much smaller diameter than the light guide fiber 3 on the probe side 10 of FIG. The condenser lens 8' is set to have a focal length corresponding to the optimum incident spot diameter and maximum incident ray angle using the above formulas F11 and (2), and is sometimes attached to the first condenser lens 7 and the second condenser lens 7. It is sufficient if the condenser lens 8' constitutes an afocal system.

ーザー照射装置となる。By the way, in the case of an ultra-fine light guide fiber, it is necessary to make the incident spot diameter smaller and enter it, but in the case of the device of the present invention, the first condenser lens 7 and the second condenser lens 8 are of an afocal type. Therefore, if a parallel deviation of the optical axes occurs between the first condensing lens 7 and the second condensing lens 8, the light beam passing through the second condensing lens 8 will have its output optical axis at the second condensing lens 8. 2. It is bent so as to coincide with the optical axis of the condenser lens 8. Therefore, if the second condensing lens 8 and the light guiding fiber 3 are accurately centered and integrated, it is necessary to keep the error small when attaching the laser probe side 10 to the laser main body 9 side. Therefore, it is a highly safe laser irradiation device.
