Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enable an excitation efficiency (oscillation efficiency) to be improved and an aberration of an output laser light to be reduced by forming one of a pair of reflecting mirrors to be a curved surface mirror. CONSTITUTION:An equi-refractivity line of a refractivity distribution of a thermal lens at a part that a plurality of pumping light beams 8 of a solid state laser medium 6 are incident on becomes a concentric circle with each incidence point of the pumping light 8 as a center. Therefore, a plurality of excitation regions 7 of the solid state laser medium 6 match each oscillation region, thus enabling an excitation efficiency (oscillation efficiency) to be improved and at the same time a wave front distortion of the output laser beam 9 to be eliminated for reduced aberration of the output laser beam.

PURPOSE:To obtain coherent high power laser light by splitting first laser light in a single mode into a plurality of laser lights, injecting and synchronizing the laser lights into a plurality of laser light sources, synthesizing a plurality of emitted oscillated laser lights, and taking out the laser light. CONSTITUTION:Master laser light L14 is rotated by -90 deg. in a third HWP 20. Then, the light is inputted into the light emitting region of the edge face of a second broad area laser 22 which is arranged so that the current stripe direction and pressure vector direction are provided in the direction in parallel with the surface of the paper. In this way, fourth and fifth master laser lights L13 and L14 are injected and synchronized in the first and second broad area lasers 19 and 22. Thus, first and second oscillated laser light L20 and L21, which are oscillated at the same frequency and have the equal frequency, are emitted. The oscillated laser lights L20 and L21 are synthesized in a second PBS 16. The first synthesized laser light L22 having the polarizing direction which is rotated by +45 deg. with respect to the oscillated laser light L20 is outputted.

PURPOSE:To output high power laser light accurately by injecting and synchronizing laser light which is obtained from a single-mode laser through a polarization splitting optical system and anamorphic prisms, polarizing and splitting the laser light emitted from a broad area laser, and taking out the output laser light. CONSTITUTION:First taking light L10 obtained from a single-mode laser 3 is injected and synchronized in a broad area laser 1 through a polarization splitting optical system comprising units 12, 5 and 13 and anamorphic prisms 14. Second laser light L20 emitted from the broad area laser 1 is polarized and split in the poralization splitting optical system comprising the units 13, 5 and 12 through the anamorphic prisms 14, and output laser light L21 is taken out. In this way, the high power, coherent laser light L21 in a single mode can be outputted accurately.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve efficiency at a time when the sum-frequency laser beams and/or difference-frequency laser beams of first and second laser beams are generated remarkably by arranging a nonlinear type optical crystal element into the resonator of first laser beams while satisfying the conditions of external resonance to second laser beams by the resonator. CONSTITUTION:Laser beams L4 for converting a wavelength emitted from a second semiconductor laser 12 for converting the wavelength are projected to a beam splitter 11 through an objective 13, and a nonlinear type optical crystal element 7 is selected at a specified azimuth phi=68-73[deg] to the oscillation laser beams L2 of an Nd:YAG laser 6 projected and the laser beams L4 for converting the wavelength emitted from the semiconductor laser 12 for converting the wavelength. Accordingly, the light intensity of the second laser beams L4 projected to the nonlinear type optical crystal element 7 can be increased remarkably, thus acquiring sum-frequency laser beams L5 and differential-frequency laser beams with high efficiency.

PURPOSE:To execute adjustment so that an optical spot can be properly formed on a pair of tripartite detectors by arranging a pair of the tripartite detectors so that respective dividing lines can be crossed. CONSTITUTION:A pair of tripartite detectors 22 and 23 are arranged with being inclined only by a prescribed angle theta10, in which a code is different, to a central line 21L of a substrate 21 to be composed by connecting the centers of the detectors so that respective dividing lines L22A, L22B, L23A and L23B can be crossed. Even when the substrate 21 and a polarizing beam splitter 9 are fit in a dislocating condition, the adjustment can be executed so that optical spots SP31 and 32 can be properly formed respectively on a pair of the three-dividing detectors 22 and 23 by wholly moving a focus photodetecting device 20 only with arbitrary adjusting quantity in X-axis and Y-axis directions on a plain to include the substrate 21.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain an objective lens which is small in size and light in weight, prevents the spherical aberration by windows and has a sufficient working distance by using a material having a relatively high refractive index and forming the 1st face and 2nd face of hyperboloid of revolution. CONSTITUTION:The objective lens 5 is formed to a meniscus shape by using ZnS and has 2.286 refractive index to light of lambda=0.78mum. The 2nd face 52 on the disk side of the 1st face 51 on the side opposite to the disk 2 has the distance Z expressed by equation from the reference plane in the radial distance y from the lens axis. A curvature C0, constant K and A-D, lens thickness d0 are selected. A numerical aperture NA, a focal length F and the working distance (d) are so determined as to attain prescribed values and K is set smaller than -1, the faces 51, 52 are formed of the hyperboloid of revolution. The presence of the spherical aberration is obviated and the sufficient working distance (d) is taken without making similar expansion in spite of the presence of the windows between the objective lens and the optical disk if the shape of the lens faces is designed by taking the windows 3W, 1W into consideration as well. The objective lens which is small in size and light in weight is thus obtd.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an illumination device having a constitution which is low in cost and simple in constitution, and capable of reducing visibility in an interference fringe, and to provide a projection type image display device. SOLUTION: The illumination device 1a includes: a laser light source 10; and an optical member (for example, a fly-eye lens 12 and a condenser lens 13) that spatially divides incident light based on emitted light from the laser light source 10, multiplexes the divided light along a predetermined direction (multiplexing direction) toward an emitting surface and emits the multiplexed light. An axial direction of the light entering the fly-eye lens 12 in which coherency is high and directions of multiplexing by the condenser lens 13 are different from one another, and thereby it is possible to prevent the light divided by the fly-eye lens 12 from being multiplexed along the axial direction in which the coherency is high in the condenser lens 13.
