    摘要: A light wavelength converting element which can reduce an amount of light fed-back to a semiconductor laser. The light wavelength converting element converts a wavelength of a fundamental wave which enters from a first end surface side of an optical waveguide to thereby emit a converted wavelength wave from a second end surface side thereof. The second end surface is inclined with respect to the side surface of the optical waveguide. Also provided is a wavelength stabilized laser having a semiconductor laser, a device which feeds a laser beam emitted from the semiconductor laser back to the semiconductor laser, and a band-pass filter. An optical length between the semiconductor laser and the device is made to be longer than a coherent length of the semiconductor laser, thus improving linearity of a current vs. light output characteristic. Further, a light wavelength converting unit and a light wavelength converting module are provided in which, since an LD-SHG unit formed by a semiconductor laser and a light wavelength converting element is hermetically sealed in a package, the LD-SHG unit can be manufactured easily and has excellent stability over time.

    摘要: A laser system in which an intense laser beam of a predefined pumping wavelength traverses a non-linear material, such as crystalline lithium niobate, that has been impressed with one or more quasi phase matching (QPM) gratings is disclosed. Quasi phase matching compensates for the dispersion or birefringence in a non-linear material by modulating the non-linearity with the proper period such that the different wavelengths involved in the non-linear process stay in phase over a long interaction length. The first QPM grating promotes the parametric generation of a resonant signal whose wavelength is determined by the grating period. According to the invention, either a second QPM grating impressed in the same medium or a different order of the first QPM grating promotes the non-linear interaction between the resonant signal and another optical signal traversing the non-linear material. The multi-step process allows efficient generation of high-intensity signals in wavelength regions, such as the blue, not easily accessible otherwise.

    摘要: An optical wavelength converting device is provided with a LiTaO 3 substrate, a plurality of inverted-polarization layers periodically arranged in an upper surface of the LiTaO 3 substrate, and an optical waveguide crossing the inverted-polarization layers. The upper surface of the LiTaO 3 substrate is directed toward a -X-crystal axis direction. The inverted-polarization layers are formed by exchanging Ta + ions of the LiTaO 3 substrate for H + ions. The substrate is formed by cutting out LiTaO 3 crystal along a plane inclined to the C-crystal axis towards the X-crystal axis. The spontaneous polarization is directed in a +C-crystal axis direction. The optical waveguide is formed by exchanging Ta + ions of the LiTaO 3 substrate and the inverted-polarization layers for H + ions to set a refractive index of the optical waveguide higher than that of the LiTaO 3 substrate. The optical waveguide extends in a -Y-crystal axis direction. Fundamental waves polarized in a transverse electric mode induce electric field directed in ±Y-crystal axis directions and are converted into second harmonic waves in the optical waveguide.

    摘要: A wavelength-conversion laser capable of maintaining a single longitudinal mode even when the temperature of a resonator changes. The wavelength-conversion laser is made up of a solid-state laser crystal doped with Neodymium which is pumped by light, a nonlinear optical crystal disposed in a resonator for converting the wavelength of a solid-state laser beam emanated from the solid-state laser crystal, and an etalon disposed in the resonator for realizing a single longitudinal mode. The nonlinear optical crystal is a crystal, which effects type-I phase-matching, such as MgO:LiNbO₃ crystal. Moreover, the nonlinear optical crystal possesses periodic domain reversals.

    摘要: A laser system which features a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) or a distributed feedback (DFB) tunable laser (11) coupled to a quasi-phasematched (QPM) waveguide (31; 16) of nonlinear material (13). The DBR laser is tuned either thermally (14; 51, 53) or via current injection (Itune), or both, converting the output of a red laser into blue. Thermal tuning provides coarse adjustment while injection current tuning provides fine adjustment. Intensity modulation or pulsed output may be provided by application of a modulation signal (Imod) to the DBR laser. Another embodiment provides frequency modulation (Vfsk) of the laser. In yet another embodiment, a high power laser (103) pumped fiber amplifier (101) is disposed between the laser (11) and the waveguide (16).
