Fiber laser apparatus
A fiber laser apparatus includes: an amplification optical fiber that amplifies a laser beam; one or more pumping light sources that generate pumping light that is supplied to the amplification optical fiber; an output optical fiber including a first core that allows the laser beam amplified by the amplification optical fiber to propagate therethrough, and a first cladding having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the first core and surrounding a circumference of the first core; a delivery fiber including a second core optically coupled to the first core of the output optical fiber, and a second cladding having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the second core and surrounding a circumference of the second core; and a first housing unit that houses the amplification optical fiber and the output optical fiber therein.
