As the laser tube is used for a longer time, the gas in the gas storage tube 01 decreases or impurities are mixed in. At this time, valve 16 can be opened first. Since the vacuum tank 14 is in a vacuum state, the gas in the gas storage tube 01 will be sucked into the vacuum tank 14 after valve 16 is opened. After valve 16 is opened for a certain period of time, it is closed, and then valve 217 is opened. The gas in the gas storage tank 15 will be filled into the gas storage tube 01, thereby completing the replenishment and replacement of the gas in the gas storage tube 01.
