1. A laser welding method for welding a fiber filter to a resin base member by a laser beam, the method including the steps of:

  • placing the filter made of a laser beam-transmittable fiber material on the base member made of a laser beam-nontransmittable resin material;

    increasing the fiber density of a welding portion of the filter; and

    irradiating the laser beam to the welding portion;

    wherein the base member will partially be melted by the laser beam transmitting through the filter and a melted material of the base member will permeate through gaps between the fibers constituting the filter so that the welded portion is joined to the base member.
