Abstract: A light-emitting device includes an optical fiber, a first light source unit, and a second light source unit. The optical fiber includes a wavelength converting portion. The wavelength converting portion is provided between a light incident portion and a light emerging portion. The wavelength converting portion contains a wavelength converting material. The wavelength converting material is excited by excitation light to produce a spontaneous emission of light having a longer wavelength than the excitation light and amplifies the spontaneous emission of light to produce an amplified spontaneous emission of light. The first light source unit makes the excitation light incident on the light incident portion. The second light source unit makes seed light, causing a stimulated emission of light to be produced from the wavelength converting material that has been excited by either the excitation light or the amplified spontaneous emission of light, incident on the light incident portion.

Abstract: A multi-beam combining apparatus includes a phase shifting section, a superposing section, an observing section and a phase control section. The phase shifting section generates a plurality of phase-shifted laser beams by shifting the phase of each of the plurality of laser beams. The superposing section generates a plurality of superposed laser beam by superposing the reference laser beam and each of the plurality of phase-shifted laser beams. The observing section generates interference pattern data of a spatial interference pattern which appears when observing each of the superposed laser beams. The phase control section carries out a feedback control of the phase shifts in the phase shifting section based on the interference pattern data obtained for every superposed laser beam, and thereby sets the plurality of phase-shifted laser beams to desired states.

Abstract: An optical correction is predictively performed based on a result of AI learning previously performed by use of learning data including measurement data. The optical compensation system is provided with wavefront correction optics, a sensor and a controller. The wavefront correction optics corrects a wavefront of light that passes through a given optical path. The sensor obtains environmental information in the optical path. The controller calculates, based on the environmental information, a predicted wavefront disturbance of the light that has passed through the optical path and controls the wavefront correction optics so as to cancel the predicted wavefront disturbance.

Abstract: A phase difference measuring device is provided with a phase conversion device and a detection device. The phase conversion device converts a first laser beam that passes therethrough so that the first laser beam includes a phase distribution of one cycle in an azimuth direction in a cross section of the first laser beam included in an arbitrary virtual plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the first laser beam. The detection device detects an azimuth angle of an intensity centroid of an interference pattern generated by at least a part of a first laser beam that has passed through the phase conversion device, and a part of a second laser beam that derives from a laser beam as seed light from which the first laser beam derives, of which an optical intensity is same as the at least a part of the first laser beam, and detects an inter-beam phase difference of the second laser beam.
