Abstract:
Two convex lenses (61, 62), each of which has a focal length “f”, and a 90 degree polarization rotator (5) are interposed between solid-state laser elements (21, 22) of a symmetrical resonator having the two solid-state laser elements (21, 22); a space between the two lenses (61, 62) is made shorter than 2f; and distances between the respective lenses (61, 62) and centers of their adjacent solid-state laser elements (21, 22) are set substantially to “f”, to thus achieve a solid-state laser capable of stably performing high power transverse single mode oscillation desirably having power of 100 W or more. There is acquired a wavelength conversion laser that is further provided with a Q switch (3) and a polarization element (4) and that causes an output fundamental wave laser beam to enter nonlinear elements (91, 92) so as to undergo wavelength conversion, thereby producing a high power harmonic laser beam having a high frequency of; desirably, about 100 kHz.
