A solid-state laser material 12 excited by an excitation lamp 25 is placed in a laser resonator composed of a total reflection mirror 11 and an output reflection mirror 14. The Q switch element 13 is also placed in the resonator to pulse the laser output. An optical attenuator 26 is placed in the rear of the total reflection mirror 11, and when there is leakage from the total reflection mirror 11, this is attenuated and made incident on the detector 21. The output signal of the detector 21 is amplified by the operational amplifier 22 and input to the gate circuit 24.

The horizontal axis of FIG. 2 represents time, and the vertical axis represents signal intensity. The Q switch repetition signal a is normally at a high level, and becomes a low level for the Q switch pulse generation time to generate a pulse. It is appropriate to use the Q switch repetitive signal a with a pulse width of several μs and a period of several hundred μs to several ms.

The detection prohibition signal b is a signal for controlling whether the comparator 20 performs the comparator operation or not. When the Q switch pulse c is output, it becomes a low level to prohibit the comparator 20. Therefore, the comparator circuit 20 does not detect even a Q switch pulse whose level is higher than the comparator level 202. There is a delay of several tens of microseconds before the Q-switch oscillation ends and the energy of the population inversion exceeds the loss of the laser resonator and light is generated. Therefore, the comparator can be detected within this time.

As described above, according to the present invention, the Q switch pulse is not detected, and only the leakage light generated by the Q switch operation failure when the Q switch is OFF can be detected and an alarm can be issued. Therefore, when this is applied to a laser device for processing, there is an effect that processing defects due to defective Q switch operation can be prevented.
