The invention relates to an apparatusand a methodfor machining a workpiecewith a laser beam. The apparatuscomprises a machining unitconfigured to provide a pressurized fluid jetonto the workpieceand to couple the laser beamthrough at least one optical elementinto the fluid jettowards the workpiece. Further, it comprises a sensing unitarranged to receive a laser-induced electromagnetic radiationpropagating away from the workpiecethrough the fluid jetand through at least one optical element, and configured to convert the received radiationinto a signal. The apparatusalso comprises a signal processing unitconfigured determine a state of machining the workpiecebased on the signal
