    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical element with a downsized convex lens having a large numerical aperture. SOLUTION: The optical element 100 includes the convex lens 102 having a convex curved surface 102C formed and a base material 101 adhering to the convex curved surface 102C of the convex lens 102. The base material 101 includes a first surface 100B and a second surface 100U opposed to each other. A concave curved surface 101C adhering to the convex curved surface 102C is formed on the first surface 100B, and a hole 103 is formed from the far side of the concave curved surface 101C to the second surface 100U. The center section of the convex curved surface 102C of the convex lens 102 is exposed in the hole 103 of the base material 101. For example, the convex lens 102 is formed by filling an optical material into the concave part of the base substrate 101, and then the hole 103 is formed in the base material 101 where the convex lens 102 is formed, thus the optical element 100 can be produced. The convex lens 102 of the optical element 100 can be downsized by making smaller the concave part of the base material 101 where the optical material is filled.

The recessed parts 101B, 101D are filled with the second optical material so as to compose lenses 102, 103. For example, the first optical material is quartz, and the second optical material is silicon nitride (SiN) or gallium phosphide(GaP). The optical element 100 can be downsized and also the lenses 102, 103 can be made smaller by making smaller the recessed parts 101B, 101D.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To make coincident the oscillation wavelength of a semiconductor laser element and the phase matching wavelength of an SHG element easily in a simple structure, without carrying out a strict temperature control, by generating a higher harmonics in a wavelength scope wider than a wavelength scope which can be resonated by a resonant means. CONSTITUTION: In an SHG element 2 as a high-order higher harmonics generating element, the width and/or the depth of a set light waveguide passage are being changed along the propagating direction of the light wave, or the cycle of the cyclic structure is being changed along the propagating direction of the light wave. As a result, the generative wavelength, width of the second higher harmonics laser beam generated from the SHG element 2 is expanded, and it can be set wider than the oscillating wavelength width of the fundamental harmonic laser beam outgone from a light amplifier 1. Consequently, regardless of the wavelength of the laser beam oscillated from the light amplifier 1, the second higher harmonics of the laser beam can be generated necessarily in the SHG element 2, and the oscillating wavelength of the semiconductor laser beam outgone from the light amplifier 1, and the phase matching wavelength of the SHG element 2 can be made coincident easily.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To make the lighting device small. CONSTITUTION:A lighting section 4 is fitted to a tip of a slide section 3 mounted to a main body 2 slidably. A latch section 47 of the slide section 3 is latched to a main body 2 when the device is not in use. The slide section 3 is energized upward by a helical spring 43. While a lock lever 31 is depressed when the device is in use, a lighting section ascending button 30 is pushed. Thus, the latch section 47 of the slide section 3 is pushed up by a tip 52 of the lighting section ascending button 30 to release the latch of the slide section 3. In this case, a projection 58 of the slide section 3 turns on a power switch 59 of the lighting section 4. When an automatic/manual changeover switch 60 is thrown to the position of AUTO, for example, as soon as the video recording of the video camera K is started, a halogen lamp 71 of the lighting section 4 is lighted. Since the device is made compact when the device is not in use, the device is easily handles and the lighting section is largely projected from the video camera main body to offer sufficient lighting when the device is in use.
