Laser transmission apparatus includes laser switching device shifter and is provided with light barrier 3 with the front end that is positioned at three laser instruments, on light barrier 3, offer three light holes 4 that the laser that should be able to make three laser instruments send passed with three laser instruments respectively, and the laser rays wave filter of corresponding different wave length laser instrument is installed at light hole 4 places, the laser that three laser instruments send enters laser switching device shifter after the laser rays wave filter in light hole 4.As shown in Figure 2, laser switching device shifter includes three the first reflective mirrors 6 in the shell holder 1 that is separately fixed at confocal Raman spectrometer, and be upper and lower parallel arrangement setting, respectively corresponding three the laser instrument settings of these three the first reflective mirrors 6, the laser that three laser instruments can be sent reflects by fixed angle, concrete angle is by artificially adjusting, and this is easily to realize for a person skilled in the art, no longer describes in detail.As shown in Figure 2, with three corresponding the second reflective mirrors 100,110,120 that are provided with for the laser vertical of the first reflective mirror 6 reflections is upwards reflected of the first reflective mirror 6, two the second reflective mirrors 100,110 corresponding with the first laser instrument 10, the second laser 11 that are positioned at top in three the second reflective mirrors are arranged in the shell holder 1 of confocal Raman spectrometer movably, and second reflective mirror 120 corresponding with the 3rd laser instrument 12 is directly fixed in the shell holder 1 of confocal Raman
