    Abstract: A photoacoustic apparatus includes a laser light irradiating unit that irradiates an inside of a subject with pulsed light; a photoacoustic signal acquiring unit that acquires a photoacoustic signal from a photoacoustic wave from the subject; a light amount detecting unit that detects a light amount of the pulsed light; a correlation data memory that stores first correlation data and second correlation data; an energy estimating unit that estimates an energy on the basis of the amount of the pulsed light and the first correlation data; a pulse width estimating unit that estimates a pulse width on the basis of the estimated energy and the second correlation data; and a photoacoustic signal correcting unit that corrects the photoacoustic signal on the basis of a first difference between the estimated energy and a reference energy and a second difference between the estimated pulse width and a reference pulse width.

    Abstract: A Q switch is vibrated by applying a first voltage, and pulsed laser light is emitted by applying a second voltage to the Q switch at a point in time at which a preset delay time has passed from the start of emission of excitation light. Then, in this case, a time which is within a period, for which the vibration of the Q switch continues, and at which the intensity of the pulsed laser light periodically changing due to the vibration of the Q switch is maximized in a case where a point in time of application of the second voltage to the Q switch is changed is set as the delay time.

    Abstract: In each of a first phase shift differential image produced in the absence of a subject in preliminary imaging and a second phase shift differential image produced in the presence of the subject in main imaging, boundaries, at each of which a value changes from π/2 to −π/2 or from −π/2 to π/2, are determined. First and second staircase data in each of which a value changes by π or −π when crossing each of the boundaries in a predetermined direction is produced. The first and second staircase data is added to the first and second phase shift differential images to produce first and second added phase shift differential image, respectively. The first added phase shift differential image is subtracted from the second added phase shift differential image to produce a corrected phase shift differential image.

    Abstract: A solid-state laser device includes a resonator composed of a pair of mirrors, a laser rod disposed in the resonator, and a laser chamber. The resonator and the laser rod are disposed in a housing. The laser rod is inserted through a hole of the laser chamber and is supported in a state in which two end portions are exposed. An O-ring is disposed at an exposed root of at least one rod end portion exposed from the laser chamber. The solid-state laser device includes a cover member that is disposed on a rod side surface of the rod end portion between the O-ring and a rod end surface and that blocks incidence of stray light, which is generated in the housing, on the O-ring.
