Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve utilization efficiency of a laser beam, by reducing a frequency at which resonator length control is temporarily stopped. SOLUTION: A search control section 29 predicts a direction and searches a state in which resonator length control can be effected in the predicted direction. That is, when a servo temporary stop determination section 28 determines to temporarily stop the servo control of resonator length, the section 29 predicts, using a predetermined resonator length as a reference, a direction in which a time interval between the resumption of the resonator length control and the next temporary stop of the resonator length control becomes long from the direction of increasing the resonator length and the direction of decreasing the resonator length, and searches a state in which the resonator length control can be effected in the predicated direction. Further, when the resonator length control is ready to be effected through the search, the section 29 informs the section 28 to that effect, and the section 28 resumes the servo control. As a result of these operations, the resonator length control is effected so that the same oscillation frequency can be provided again.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a remarkable peak from being generated in nonlinear optical crystal even when the power of an inputted basic wave to has its wavelength converted by converging the basic wave on in the nonlinear optical crystal is high. SOLUTION: This device is so constituted that the spot diameter of the basic wave at its convergence point is 0.0014-0.0023cm and the crystal length of the nonlinear optical crystal is 0.5-1.2cm. When the spot diameter is within this range, the light intensity distribution in the nonlinear optical crystal is a top hat type even if the power of the inputted basic wave is high, so that no peak is generated.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To suppress the average current value of a drive current supplied, and improve the conversion efficiency of waves by nonlinear optical phenomena, and besides, lessen battery power depletion by adding a modulation means to a drive means so as to modulate and convert the drive current. CONSTITUTION:In a drive power source 2, a pulse drive circuit 5 drives an ACC drive circuit by pulses and supplies a semiconductor laser part 3 with pulse currents Ip. The semiconductor laser part 3 drives a semiconductor laser drive 7 and the emitted light is condensed by a converging lens 8, and is emitted to a wavelength converter. In the wave length converter, the light emitted from the semiconductor laser part 3 is entered into a laser oscillator 12, and an Nd:YAG laser medium 10 is excited by the exciting light emitted from the semiconductor laser device 7, and the wavelength of this emitted laser beam is converted into one of green visible light by KPT 11, and is emitted, being amplified in the solid laser oscillator 12. Hereby, the average drive current value is made small, whereby the wavelength conversion efficiency can be improved.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce the noise level of a second-harmonic laser beam in a low-fre quency region by a method wherein the high-frequency component of a laser beam which has been passed through a resonator block is detected, it is fed back to an excitation light source and the noise of the second-harmonic laser beam generated by the resonator block is reduced. CONSTITUTION:A noise signal obtained from the high-frequency component of one part of a second-harmonic laser beam generated by a resonator block 11 is negatively fed back by a negative-feedback loop system 35, it is added to an LD constant-current drive circuit 31 in a constant-current drive system 34 at a timing at which a temperature control system 27 is operated, and a laser diode 12 is driven. Since an excitation laser beam generated by the laser diode 12 for excitation use and a second-harmonic laser beam generated by the resonator block 11 are correlated electrically and optically, the generation of the second-harmonic laser beam can be controlled by controlling the driving current of the laser diode 12. Consequently, the noise level on the low-frequency side of the second-harmonic laser beam can be reduced.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To correct anisotropy of an emitting angle of an exciting laser light, to improve lateral and longitudinal symmetry of an exciting area in a laser medium and to enhance an S/N ratio by providing an exciting laser light source having anisotropy of an emitting angle and at least one diffraction grating to the resonator. CONSTITUTION:A gain waveguide type laser diode 11 of a semiconductor laser element as an exciting laser light source has anisotropy of an emitting angle. An exciting laser light emitted from the diode 11 is incident to laser medium 16. A phase diffraction grating 21 is disposed fixedly at an opposite side of a resonator 13 of a condensing lens 12 to a concave mirror 14 between the diode 11 and the resonator 13. A plurality of images are focused in a connecting perpendicular direction of the diode 11 by the grating 21 to increase the exciting luminous flux width in the perpendicular direction, thereby approaching it to the exciting luminous flux width of a connecting parallel direction.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To facilitate the control of the amount of double refraction in a nonlinear optical crystal element. CONSTITUTION:Pumping laser rays outputted from a laser diode 1 are made to concentrate on a laser medium 5 by a lens 2 through the intermediary of a 1/4 wavelength plate 4. By this setup, a heat lens 5a is formed in the laser medium 5, and laser rays of fundamental wave are generated. The laser rays of fundamental wave are reflected by planar mirrors 11 and 12, and thus a laser ray resonator 8 is constituted. The second harmonic laser rays of the fundamental laser rays of fundamental wave are outputted from a non-linear optical crystal element 6. A control plate 22 can be set freely movable in a direction vertical to the optical axis LA2 of pumping laser rays.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve conversion efficiency for higher harmonic laser light by compensating phase change produced when basic wave laser light is passed through a non-linear optical crystal element by the use of a phase compensating element. CONSTITUTION:A phase compensating element 9 for compensating phase change produced in basic wave laser light LA(w) when the basic wave laser light LA(w) is passed through a non-linear optical crystal element 8 in a passage at which the basic wave laser light LA(w) is passed through the non-linear optical crystal element 8 is provided. Thus, the condition of a phase of each part of the basic wave laser light LA(w) in the inner part of a resonator CAV is stable. Therefore, a strong resonating condition can be formed in the inner part of the resonator CAV, and conversion efficiency of the basic wave laser light LA(w) produced in the non-linear optical crystal element 8 to second high er harmonic laser light LA(zw) can be heightened.
