PURPOSE:To obtain the internal data of an object to be measured within a real time by irradiating the first and second mirrors mounted on the surface of the object to be measured subjected to ultrasonic vibration with beam through a beam splitter and allowing reflected beams to interfere with each other. CONSTITUTION:When ultrasonic vibration is applied to an object 12 to be measured through a transducer 14, in such a case that there is a flaw in the object 12 to be measured, a propagated ultrasonic wave scatters at the part of the flaw to generate diffraction and the fine unevenness corresponding to the internal data of the object 12 to be measured is generated on the surface of the first mirror 18. The laser beam reflected by a beam splitter 22 to transmit through a glass plate 20 is scattered by the fine unevenness formed to the first mirror 18 to transmit through the beam splitter 22 to be interferred with the laser beam reflected by the second mirror 25 and the interference image is formed on an image sensor 28. By this method, the internal data of the object to be measured is observed within a real time.

CONSTITUTION:Laser light as a fundamental wave emitted by a fundamental wave laser oscillator 17 travels reciprocally in a fundamental wave laser resonator 15 formed by arranging the 1st nonlinear optical crystal 18 and 2nd nonlinear optical crystal 19 between the 1st and 2nd mirrors 11 and 12 which reflect the fundamental wave totally and is converted into a 2nd higher harmonic by the 1st nonlinear optical crystal 18 and also converted into the 3rd higher harmonic by the 2nd nonlinear optical crystal 19. The 2nd and 3rd converted higher harmonics travel reciprocally in a higher harmonic laser resonator 16 formed by arranging the 1st and 2nd nonlinear optical crystal materials 18 and 19 between the 3rd mirror 13 which reflects the 2nd higher harmonic totally and the 4th mirror 14 which reflects the 2nd higher harmonic totally and transmits the 3rd higher harmonic and higher harmonic totally and transmits the 3rd higher harmonic and only the 3rd higher harmonic is transmitted through the 4th mirror 14 and outputted as laser light, so that the 3rd higher harmonic can be converted with high efficiency.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laser beam peening device and a laser beam peening method capable of performing the consistent peening on a workpiece placed in a liquid. SOLUTION: The laser beam peening device 1 has a guide body 6 with its incident surface 6b being arranged so as to be in contact with the atmosphere, and its light emitting surface 6c being arranged so as to be in contact with a liquid 2. By guiding laser beams L via the guide body 6, a surface of a workpiece P can be irradiated with the laser beams L without directly passing the laser beam through a liquid surface 2a of the liquid 2 with the workpiece P arranged therein. Thus, the laser beam peening device 1 is capable of irradiating the laser beams L on the workpiece P without being affected by the flicker of the liquid surface 2a or the reflection by the liquid surface 2a, suppressing any fluctuation of the irradiation position and the irradiation intensity of the laser beams L with respect to the workpiece P arranged in the liquid 2, and performing the consistent peening.
