Abstract:
A laser light source having a semiconductor laser (102) for outputting pump light, and a laser resonator wherein a solid laser crystal (104) and a non-linear optical crystal (103) are connected by optical contact and a reflection coat (106) and a reflection coat (105) are on the opposed facets of the respective crystals. GdVO4 is the solid laser crystal (104) while LiNbO3 is the non-linear optical crystal (103), and the crystal axis of the solid laser crystal (104) is inclined with respect to the z axis of the non-linear optical crystal (103) within the z-x plane of the non-linear optical crystal (103). The thermal expansion coefficients of the solid laser crystal and of the non-linear optical crystal can be approximated to each other, thereby preventing separation of the bonded laser crystal and non-linear optical crystal due to different thermal expansion coefficients when heat is generated during laser oscillation, which stops laser oscillation.
