Abstract
A fiber laser apparatus that generates invisible laser light using an amplification optical fiber having a core and that propagates a fundamental mode and a low-order mode is provided. The fiber laser apparatus includes a visible laser light source that generates visible laser light, an introducing section that introduces the visible laser light generated by the visible laser light source into a core of the amplification optical fiber, a cladding light attenuating section that attenuates light which has propagated through a cladding of the amplification optical fiber, at a subsequent stage of the amplification optical fiber, and a drive unit that drives the visible laser light source to emit the visible laser light through a core of the output optical fiber in a case of performing alignment of an irradiation position of the invisible laser light with respect to a workpiece.
