    摘要: An optical device includes a light transmitting non-linear optical material having a first face and a second face. The first and second faces oppose each other. The first face has a plurality of first reflecting portions provided thereon, and the second face has a plurality of second reflecting portions provided thereon. Each of the second reflecting portions corresponds to one of the first reflecting portions. Furthermore, the first and second faces are substantially flat except for at least one convex arcuate portion being formed on at least one of the first and second faces. Additionally, at least one of the first and second reflecting portions is obtained by coating a reflective material on the convex arcuate portion.

    摘要: The present invention provides an optical mirror and an optical device in which the mirror is capable of reflecting a light beam having a plurality of wavelengths with the phase matching condition required for nonlinear optical materials being satisfied, so that a decrease in efficiency due to the phase difference does not generate even if harmonic generation, optical mixing or the like is performed, thereby improving conversion efficiency. The optical mirror includes a plurality of reflection films, e.g., multilayer films 2 and 3, formed on one surface of a transparent substrate, each of which films corresponds to each wavelength of a light beam having a plurality of wavelengths to reflect selectively one of said plurality of wavelengths, wherein a phase difference adjusting layer 4 is formed between the two reflection films 2 and 3, reflecting light beams having different wavelengths. The adjusting layer eliminates the phase difference between a phase of the light beam reflected by the 2 or 3 of the reflection films and a phase of the light beam reflected by the other 3 or 2 of the reflection films. This optical mirror can be suitably applied to second harmonic generation, optical mixing, optical parametric generation and the like because it is capable of reflecting with the phase matching condition required for the nonlinear optical materials being satisfied and has high conversion efficiency.

    摘要: At least one convex (or concave) arcuate face is formed by photolithography on a photoresist film formed on a surface of an optical device made of an optical material. The surface of the optical device and the photoresist film are etched to form, on the surface of the optical device, at least one convex (or concave) arcuate face similar to the convex (or concave) arcuate face formed on the photoresist film. After the surface of the optical material is mirror face polished, a photoresist film is formed on the polished surface, and the polished surface and the photoresist film are etched uniformly. An optical device obtained in this manner is used for a laser oscillator, a monolithic laser system, a nonlinear optical device, a microlens, a ring laser and so forth. Further, a plurality of reflecting portions are provided on a pair of opposing surfaces of a light transmitting optical material. At least one of the opposing surfaces is formed on the convex arcuate face. A zigzag optical path is formed between the reflecting portions of the opposing faces of the light transmitting optical material such that it couples the reflecting portions alternately to each other, thereby to obtain an optical device having a long optical path. The optical device is employed as a higher harmonic wave converting device, highly efficient for a short wavelength laser apparatus.

    摘要: A solid state laser apparatus is capable of suppressing a mode hopping phenomena by restricting longitudinal modes except a fundamental mode, thereby providing a very stable output. The solid state laser apparatus includes such components as a semiconductor laser emitting a pumping radiation for exciting a lasant material, a lens systems for focusing the pumping radiation and an optical resonator including a concave mirror. The lasant material may be formed of Nd:YVO.sub.4 doped with approximately 1 at % of Nd and a non-linear optical element may be formed of KTiOPO.sub.4 with an inclined c-axis.
