An organic EL panel comprises an element forming substrate, an organic EL element, which is formed on the element forming substrate, an adhesive layer, which is formed at a periphery of the element forming substrate so as to surround the organic EL element, and a sealing substrate, which is bonded to the element forming substrate through the adhesive layer. A hermetically sealing section, which is provided with low melting point metal layers, is formed at a position adjacent to the adhesive layer.

A polarization control element for controlling the direction of polarization and the longitudinal mode of a laser is formed by cutting a birefringent crystal so that its light incident face and light emanating face are at an angle to the optical axis of the crystal and adjusting the thickness and the reflectivities of the faces of the crystal so that the crystal can function as a Fabry-Perot etalon. The thickness of the birefringent crystal is set so that the wavelengths selected by the birefringent crystal for two laser oscillation modes whose directions of polarization are normal to each other differ from each other.

A laser includes a laser medium, a light source for emitting light which pumps the laser medium, a pair of mirrors which are disposed on opposite sides of the laser medium and form a resonator, an etalon which is disposed in the resonator in order to make the oscillation mode of a laser beam a single longitudinal mode and a nonlinear optical crystal which is disposed in the resonator and converts the laser beam to a second harmonic. The effective thickness t of the etalon satisfies the condition that 2t(n.sub.SH -n.sub.FM)/.lambda..sub.SH is substantially an integer wherein .lambda..sub.SH represents the wavelength of the second harmonic, n.sub.FM represents the refractive index of the etalon for the fundamental wave and n.sub.SH represents the refractive index of the etalon for the second harmonic.

A single-longitudinal-mode laser comprises a laser medium, an etalon, and a resonator. The etalon is located in the resonator in a state such that two light passage end faces of the etalon, which are parallel to each other, may make a predetermined angle with respect to a resonator axis. The longitudinal mode of the etalon coincides with a gain peak wavelength of the laser medium. The single-longitudinal-mode laser is free from the problems in that the threshold value of the pumping power for the oscillation of the laser becomes large, in that the output power of the laser becomes low, in that the profile of the radiated beam becomes distorted, and in that the single longitudinal mode characteristics become bad.

A solid laser comprises an anisotropic laser crystal, to which a rare earth element has been added, a pumping device, which causes a pumping beam to impinge upon the laser crystal, and a resonator mirror, which oscillates a solid laser beam having been produced by the laser crystal. The laser crystal is located in an orientation such that its crystallographic axis may makes an angle with respect to a laser oscillation axis. A device linearly moves the pumping means with respect to the laser crystal and the resonator mirror such that only either one of ordinary rays and extraordinary rays, which are produced by the laser crystal, may oscillate selectively, or a device linearly moves the resonator mirror with respect to the laser crystal and the pumping means such that only either one of ordinary rays and extraordinary rays, which are produced by the laser crystal, may oscillate selectively. A single desired beam radiation line is thus selected easily.

A method of correcting unevenness in scanning lines in a light beam scanning apparatus having a mechanical scanning light beam deflector which rotates about a rotational axis to deflect a scanning light beam in a main scanning direction and a correcting light beam deflector for deflecting the scanning light beam in a sub-scanning direction, comprising steps of continuously detecting deflection of the rotational axis of the scanning light beam deflector to obtain nonperiodic deviation of the scanning light beam in the sub-scanning direction, storing the difference between a position of the scanning light beam detected at a starting point immediately before the effective scanning range and the nonperiodic deviation of the scanning light beam as a starting point deviation, storing the difference between a position of the scanning light beam detected at an end point immediately behind the effective scanning range and the nonperiodic deviation of the scanning light beam as an end point deviation, successively calculating deviation of the scanning light beam from a target scanning position in the middle of straight scanning on the basis of the stored starting point deviation, the stored end point deviation and the rotating angle of the scanning light beam deflector as periodic deviation, and determining the amount by which the scanning light beam is to be deflected in the sub-scanning direction by the correcting light beam deflector on the basis of the sum of the nonperiodic deviation and the periodic deviation.

A light beam scanning system comprises a stack of a wave guide layer and an adjacent layer normally exhibiting a refractive index smaller than that of the wave guide layer, the wave guide layer and/or the adjacent layer being made of a material whose refractive index changes by the application of energy. Many energy application devices are positioned at the wave guide layer and/or the adjacent layer along an optical path of wave guided inside of the wave guide layer. Dielectric gratings are positioned on the adjacent layer so as to correspond to sections where energy is applied. A drive circuit is provided for sequentially and selectively energizing the energy application devices, and changing the refractive index of the wave guide layer and/or the adjacent layer so that the guided wave is radiated out of the stack by interaction with the dielectric gratings at the sections where energy is applied.

In a radiation image read-out method for a radiation image recording and read-out system in which a stimulable phosphor sheet is used for storing radiation image information therein and the stimulable phosphor sheet is exposed to stimulating rays to emit light in proportion to the stored radiation energy and then the emitted light is detected and converted to electric image signals for displaying or reproducing a visible radiation image, there occurs a so-called flare phenomenon so that the stimulating light beam impinging upon the sheet is reflected by the surface of the sheet and the reflected stimulating light or scattering light is re-reflected by various parts of the read-out apparatus and impinges upon the sheet once more causing light emitted again therefrom. The noise caused by the flare phenomenon is eliminated by calculation, subtracting a part of the light emitted caused by the scattering light from the detected amount of light emitted from the sheet. The ratio of the amount of the scattering light to the amount of the stimulating light beam which impinges upon the sheet at the desired scanning point is obtained in advance by calculation or experiment, and the detected amount of light emitted from the sheet is corrected by use of the said ratio.
