PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To switch a plurality of wavelengths to high speed without increasing a rotational speed of a birefringent filter in a laser light source unit.SOLUTION: A Q switch 55 and a birefringent filter 56 are inserted in an optical resonator including a pair of mirrors 53 and 54 facing each other with a laser rod 51 inserted therebetween. The birefringent filter 56 changes an oscillation wavelength of the optical resonator in association with rotational displacement. Driving means 57 performs reciprocal rotational motion for the birefringent filter 56 in a prescribed range including a discontinuous point of a change characteristic of a transmission wavelength with respect to the rotational displacement. A light emission control unit 59 turns on the Q switch 55 to emit pulse laser beam at the timing that the rotational displacement position of the birefringent filter 56 changes to the position corresponding to the wavelength of the pulse laser beam to be emitted after a flash lamp 52 irradiates the laser rod 51 with exciting light.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wavelength conversion film which has an up-conversion function with excellent conversion efficiency, and a photoelectric conversion device.SOLUTION: In the wavelength conversion film, first quantum dots and second quantum dots inside a matrix layer are such that a first normal energy level excited by multiplex light irradiated on the first quantum dots is larger than a second normal energy level excited by multiplex light irradiated on the second quantum dots. The matrix layer is composed of a dielectric or an organic material whose band gap is larger than the first normal energy level. When the first and second quantum dots are joined together, their energy band structure constitutes type II, where the matrix layer around each quantum dot forms a selective tunnel barrier and also forms a mini-band whose energy transition probability at an energy level higher than an energy level difference at which a stimulable light-emitting material in the matrix layer makes a luminescent transition becomes heightened, thereby causing the stimulable light-emitting material to make an energy transition for up-conversion.

In the light source device, emission angles of the first light and the second light guided by the light guide part LG and irradiated onto the part to be observed are simultaneously changed by an emission angle change part 57.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the configuration of an optical resonator, and suppress the deterioration of a Q switch even when the standby time in which light emission is not performed is long.SOLUTION: A flash lamp 32 excites a laser rod 31. A Q switch 35 for changing the loss of an optical resonator in accordance with applied voltage is inserted to an optical path of a pair of mirrors 33, 34 constituting the optical resonator. An optical path breaker 39 is arranged on the optical path of laser emission light. In the first operation mode for performing laser emission, pulse laser light is emitted by changing the applied voltage to the Q switch 35 from high voltage to, for example, 0 V after the laser rod 31 is excited by the flash lamp 32 in the state where the optical path breaker 39 is opened. In the second operation mode for interrupting the laser emission to stand by, the applied voltage to the Q switch 35 is changed to, for example, 0 V in the state where the optical path breaker 39 is closed.
