Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laser device capable of easily generating a pulsed laser beam with short pulse and high output.SOLUTION: In multiplexing each of a plurality of laser beams Lhaving different frequencies from each other by a diffraction grating 13 to generate a multiplexed beam L, the phase of each laser beam Lis controlled such that an output peak (the same pulse time waveform) of the multiplexed beam Lrepeatedly appears at predetermined time intervals on a condensing position Pof the diffraction grating 13. Consequently, a pulsed laser beam is generated on the condensing position P. This laser device 1 generates a pulsed laser beam by multiplexing a plurality of laser beams Loscillated from a plurality of laser light sources 10. Therefore, by increasing the number of the laser light sources 10 (the number of laser beams Lhaving different frequencies from each other), a pulsed laser beam with short pulse and high output can be easily generated.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laser medium capable of effectively suppressing degradation in quality of laser beam which is caused by thermal lens effect. SOLUTION: The laser medium 10 comprises an active medium 11 of slab form which comprises a first main surface 11a and a second main surface 11b, a first compensating medium 12 of slab form which comprises a main surface 12a jointing to the first main surface 11a of the active medium 11, and a second compensating medium 13 of slab form which comprises a main surface 13a jointing to the second main surface 11b of the active medium 11. The first compensating medium 12 and the second compensating medium 13 have temperature dependency in refractive index of opposite polarity relative to the temperature dependency in refractive index of the active medium 11.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laser array unit suitable for generation of an excitation light having a large irradiation area which is used for solid lasers. SOLUTION: The laser array unit 10 has a laser array 11, a heat sink 14 attached to the laser array 11, and a pair of drawing electrodes 24 connected with the laser array 11. Each deriving electrode 24 has a base portion 25 and an extension portion 26. The base portion 25 is connected electrically with the laser array 11, and is extended on side surfaces 14e, 14f of the heat sink. The extension portion 26 is extended from the base portion 25 onto a top surface 14c or a bottom surface 14d of the heat sink. Since the drawing electrode is guided from the side surface of the heat sink to the top surface or the bottom surface thereof, the drawing electrodes are prevented from interfering with a cooling manifold when attaching the plurality of laser array units to the cooling manifold by arranging them in its lateral direction.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical amplifier which can protect an excitation light source even if a solid-state laser medium is broken. SOLUTION: The excited light beams emitted from the excitation light sources 32a, 32b are radiated to a solid-state laser medium 31 passing through optical guides 36a, 36b and windows 35a, 35b. With radiation of the excited light beam to the solid-state laser medium 31, the light beam of the predetermined wavelength is amplified in the solid-state laser medium 31. If the windows 35a, 35b are broken resulting in the flooding of the cooling water, the excitation light sources 32a, 32b accommodated in the light source accommodating portions 34a, 34b are never contaminated with the cooling water.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove even a material of large bonding and dissociating energy by supplying an inert gas from a gas supplying source into a shade case and using F2 laser oscillator for emitting F2 laser beam. SOLUTION: A substrate is mounted on a sample stand, a fall illumination light source 66 is turned on, and the state of the front face of substrate is observed with TV monitor connected to CCD camera 72. A vacuum pump 24 and an exhaust fan are acted, the inside of a protect cover 84 is exhausted and it is made to a negative pressure state. Succeedingly, a nitrogen gas is supplied from a gas supplying source with a flow regulating valve 82. Then, when O2 density is made less than a specified value, it is irradiated with F laser beam. Therefore, even the material of large bonding and dissociating energy which can be not removed with an ArF exicimer laser, etc., can be removed.
