1. A laser device for aircraft defense, comprising:
a laser oscillator that outputs a laser beam;
a LASER BEAM IRRADIATION AREA GENERATOR that generates a square pyramid-shaped laser beam irradiation area in air based on the output laser beam; and
a controller that controls the LASER BEAM IRRADIATION AREA GENERATOR to generate a square pyramid-shaped laser beam irradiation surface having an energy density equal to or greater than a preset threshold in the square pyramid-shaped laser beam irradiation area and controls to generate the square pyramid-shaped laser beam irradiation area which is a three-dimensional space from the laser device to the square pyramid-shaped laser beam irradiation surface and in which aircraft located on the square pyramid-shaped laser beam irradiation area is hit with the laser beam,
wherein the LASER BEAM IRRADIATION AREA GENERATOR includes:
a beam transmission optical system that reflects the output laser beam and transmits the reflected output laser beam to a rotating mirror unit;
a rotating mirror unit that has a plurality of mirrors provided on a circumference and irradiates the reflected laser beam into the air through the mirror as the rotating mirror unit rotates;
a tilting unit that tilts a rotation axis of the rotating mirror unit; and
the controller controls to generate the square pyramid-shaped laser beam irradiation surface based on x-axis scanning of the rotating mirror unit and y-axis scanning performed by the tilting of the rotating mirror unit.
