    Abstract: A laser device includes: a master oscillator (100) configured to output a pulse laser beam (L) based on a light emission trigger signal (S21); a delay circuit (153) configured to generate a switching signal (S10) after a predetermined delay time has elapsed since reception of the light emission trigger signal (S21); a high voltage switch (304) configured to generate a high voltage pulse based on the switching signal (S10); an optical shutter (32k) positioned on the optical path of the pulse laser beam (L) and driven based on the high voltage pulse; and a high voltage monitor (151) configured to detect the high voltage pulse and transmit a high voltage pulse sensing signal (S6) to the delay circuit (153). The delay circuit (153) determines the delay time based on the light emission trigger signal (S21) and the high voltage pulse sensing signal (S6).

    Abstract: An atomic oscillator includes an alkali metal cell encapsulating an alkali metal atom; a light source that emits laser light; a light detector that detects light which has passed through the alkali metal cell; and a polarizer arranged between the alkali metal cell and the light detector. A modulation frequency in the light source is controlled, according to a coherent population trapping resonance which is a light absorption characteristic of a quantum interference effect for two kinds of resonant lights, by modulating the light source to generate sidebands and injecting laser lights with the sidebands into the alkali metal cell. A magnetic field is applied on the alkali metal cell in a direction parallel to a propagating direction of the laser light, and the laser light entering the alkali metal cell has a linear polarization, which is not parallel to a polarization direction of the polarizer.
