ABSTRACT:
An optical path rotating device, disposed in front of a linear array laser diode having a plurality of long and narrow and linearly arranged emitters for emitting a group of laser beams in the form of a dotted line, the optical path rotating device being able to convert the laser beams from the emitters into laser beams lined up in the form of ladder rungs by receiving the group of laser beams collimated by being refracted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the dotted line, rotating the positions of the laser beams from the emitters substantially for a right angle, and emitting the laser beams, and a laser apparatus, which uses the optical path rotating device, for collimating the substantially rung-shaped laser beams into two directions independently, bringing the laser means into focus, thus increasing the density of the laser energy at the focus.
