Abstract: PURPOSE:To stabilize an optical output of the second harmonic and to enable modulating light intensity of the second harmonic by an electro-optical effect by making a periodic pattern of the first electrode at least same as that of a period polarization reversal structure. CONSTITUTION:The first and the second electrodes 11 and 12 are formed, at least either of them, for instance, the first electrode 11 is arranged so as to coincide with a pattern of a period polarization reversal structure 3. Hereby, an electrooptical effect can be caused in a light waveguide path 2 corresponding to the period polarization reversal structure 3 by applying the prescribed modulating voltage between the first and the second electrodes 11 and 12. Therefore, matching between the polarization reversal period and the fundamental wavelength can not only be possible, but also light intensity modulation can be provided to the second harmonics of its output light by deviating the polarization reversal period from the wavelength of the fundamental wave by the same optical effect.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce retrogressive light from an outgoing end face or the like of a non-linear optical element facing a semiconductor laser while making the semiconductor laser always stably oscillate a fundamental wave laser light. CONSTITUTION:A semiconductor laser 1 and a non-linear type optical element 2 are butt-coupled so that the outgoing end face of the semiconductor laser and the incident end face of the non-linear type optical element may be adjacent. The non-linear type optical element performs wavelength conversion of a foundation wave laser light from the semiconductor laser 1. An electrode 3 is attached to this non-linear type optical element 2. An oscillator impresses an oscillation electric field of 100Hz to 10MHz on the non-linear type optical element through the electrode 3 so that a refractive index of the non-linear type optical element can be changed.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a non-linear optical device which has high efficiency and superior output characteristics efficiently in manufacturing and with high yield by forming periodic domain structure in a ferroelectric substance. CONSTITUTION:Periodic domain structure adapted to a wavelength of a fundamental wave light source 5 is formed in a state in which the light source 5 is optically coupled to a ferroelectric substance 1 having a light waveguide path. Therefore, since period domain structure having an optimum period can be formed independently of dispersion of oscillation wavelength of the light source 5 for instance a semiconductor laser, a nonlinear optical device which has high conversion efficiency and superior output characteristics for instance short wavelength light source can be constituted. And after the light waveguide path 2 is formed, periodic domain structure is formed, but the light waveguide path 2 previously formed can be formed so as not to be affected any by adopting a method in which reversal of domain can be performed at a low temperature in forming this periodic domain structure.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To make it possible to avoid the generation of the hysteresis phenomenon of the oscillation wavelength of a laser beam, which is emitted from a semiconductor laser, to the injection current of the laser by a method wherein a high-frequency current having an amplitude of a prescribed magnitude is made to superpose on the injection current so as to avoid the generation of hte hysteresis phenomenon to the injection current of the laser and is fed to the semiconductor laser. CONSTITUTION:The sum of 100Hz to 100MHz, desirably several tens kHz, of a low-frequency signal, which is generated from a local oscillator 7, and a signal, which is given from a current controlling circuit 9, is converted into a current by a current source 8. An injection current, which is outputted from the source 8, is superposed with 750MHz, for example, of a current by a high-frequency superposing circuit 10 and is fed to a semiconductor laser element 1. Thereby, a high-frequency current having an amplitude of a prescribed magnitude is made to superpose on the injection current of the laser so as to avoid the generation of the hysteresis phenomenon of an oscillation wavelength of a laser beam, which is emitted from the laser, and is made to flow in such a way as to feed to the laser. As a result, the generation of the hysteresis phenomenon of the oscillation wavelength of the laser beam can be avoided.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To generate stable SHG light even when a semiconductor laser deteriorates after phase matching of fundamental waves and the SHG element is obtd., by forming a second harmonic generating part on an optical waveguide and forming a clad layer on the substrate in such a manner that a part of whole of the clad layer has a periodical structure to change the refractive index in a desired period. CONSTITUTION: The second harmonic generating (SHG) element 100 has an integrated structure of an optical waveguide 3 where fundamental light from a semiconductor laser enters, areas 1, 2 having first and second polarizing directions, respectively, and a clad layer 5 having a periodical structure which changes the refractive index in a desired period formed on the optical waveguide 3 in a ferroelectric material. Among the fundamental waves from the semiconductor laser, only the light of the Bragg wavelength determined by the periodical structure having a desired period formed in a part or whole of the clad layer 5 leaks into the clad layer 5 so that the light is selectively reflected by the reflectance according to the order number of the diffraction grating and returned to the semiconductor laser 7. Thus, the oscillation wavelength of the semiconductor laser is fixed to the Bragg wavelength.
