<p>Laser irradiation apparatus 100 comprises: a long and slender main body 101; an optical fiber 107 provided slidable inside the main body 101; a guide unit 115 that forms a curved track, along which the distal end of the optical fiber 107 slides; and a drive unit 109 that causes the optical fiber 107 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the main body 101. The drive unit 109 makes the optical fiber 107 reciprocates within a part of the curved track as a stroke length. The laser rays are irradiated while the distal end of the optical fiber 107 slides along the curved track. The irradiated laser rays crosses the target area, which is the center and its vicinity of a circle that includes the curved track. The areas surrounding the target area are maintained at relatively low temperatures as the laser ray irradiating position is constantly changing. On the other hand, the temperature of the target area rises to a specified temperature because the laser rays concentrate there. <IMAGE></p> |
