    摘要: An ultrashort pulse laser apparatus of the this invention includes (1) a laser medium, (2) a laser resonator which stores the laser medium and externally extracts a laser beam, and (3) an excitation source for outputting an excitation energy to the laser resonator to excite the laser medium. The laser resonator includes (i) a plurality of resonant mirrors disposed on both sides of the laser medium to form a resonant optical path, and (ii) a phase dispersion compensation unit which includes two optical members respectively arranged on two light input/output surface sides of the laser medium on the resonant optical path and compensates phase dispersion of light in the resonant optical path. That is, the laser medium is disposed in the optical path between the two optical members of the phase dispersion compensation unit. With this arrangement, even when the laser medium is arranged almost at the center of the laser resonator to stabilize mode locking, the cavity length of the resonant optical path can be reduced. Therefore, the repetition frequency of laser pulses can be increased, and simultaneously, size reduction of the laser apparatus itself can be achieved.

    摘要: A voltage detector detects a voltage developing in a selected area of an object such as an integrated circuit by utilizing an electro-optic material equipped in an optical probe. A change in refractive index of an electro-optic material which is caused by the voltage in the object, is detected as a change of polarization of a light beam passing through the electro-optic material. In order to avoid undesired changes of polarization of the light beam when passing through optical fibers, a polarizer, beam splitters, and an analyzer are assembled together and connected to the electro-optic material to form a compact optical probe.

    摘要: A voltage detector detects a voltage developing in a selected area of an object such as an integrated circuit by utilizing an electro-optic material equipped in an optical probe. A change in refractive index of the electro-optic material which is caused by the voltage in the object, is detected as a change of polarization of a light beam passing through the electro-optic material. In order to stably trigger a streak camera, the first reference light split before entering the electro-optic material and the second reference light split after emerging from the electro-optic material are used in the form of the difference in intensity between the two reference light beams for generating a trigger signal supplied to the streak camera.
