Abstract
A laser device includes a laser oscillator that generates a laser beam, condenser lens that condenses laser beam emitted from the laser oscillator, transmission fiber that includes at least core that transmits laser beam condensed by condenser lens, and cladding provided around core, and a lens driving unit that adjusts a position of condenser lens. The lens driving unit automatically adjusts the position of condenser lens to reduce light intensity of laser beam incident on cladding.
