A laser processing apparatus includes a laser light output section, a first scanner and a second scanner, a distance measurement light emitting section, a reference member which is arranged at a position which is the other end of a correction optical path formed with the distance measurement light emitting section as one end of the correction optical path and is arranged such that an optical path length of the correction optical path is a predetermined reference distance, a distance measurement light receiving section which receives distance measurement light reflected by the workpiece or the reference member, a distance measuring section which measures a distance to the workpiece or the reference member, and a distance correcting section which compares a measurement result of the distance to the reference member with the reference distance stored in advance to correct the measurement result obtained by the distance measuring section.

Laser processing apparatus

To prevent an output decrease of laser light due to impurities formed in a Q switch. A laser machining device includes a Q-switch housing section configured by housing a Q switch and a first mirror and a wavelength converting section including a housing in which a transmission window section capable of transmitting a fundamental wave is formed, the wavelength converting section being configured by airtightly housing, with an internal space surrounded by the housing, at least a first wavelength conversion element, a second wavelength conversion element, and a second mirror. A resonator forming a resonant optical path passing through the transmission window section is configured by the first mirror in the Q-switch housing section and the second mirror in the wavelength converting section.
