Abstract
A laser diode driving power source of a laser machining device that radiates laser light emitted from an LD to a workpiece to machine the workpiece includes a power converter including a switching device, to supply a current to the LD, and a control unit to control a switching operation of the switching device. A value smaller than a value that is n times a time constant for laser machining is set as a switching period of the switching device in the control unit, the n is larger than 1, and the time constant for laser machining is a value obtained by dividing a surface roughness required for machining of the workpiece by a moving velocity of the workpiece.
