摘要： A laser apparatus 10 includes: a laser medium 11 arranged between a pair of reflecting means 12A and 12B of an optical resonator 12 and adapted to be excited to emit light; a saturable absorber 14 arranged on the optical axis L of the optical resonator 12 between the pair of reflecting means, the transmissivity thereof being adapted to increase with the absorption of emitted light 21 from the laser medium; and an excitation light source unit 13 adapted to output light 22 having a wavelength that excites the laser medium. The saturable absorber 14 is a crystalline body having first to third mutually perpendicular crystallographic axes and is arranged in the optical resonator 12 in such a manner as to have different transmissivities for emitted light in two mutually perpendicular polarization directions. In this case, a laser oscillation occurs for emitted light in the polarization direction that shows the greater transmissivity, and it is therefore possible to obtain laser beams having a stabilized polarization direction.

摘要： When forming a periodically-poled structure on a nonlinear optical crystal 1 that permits wavelength conversion and/or optical computing, the group velocity matching conditions are determined to synchronize the group velocity of the incident light L1 with that of the outgoing light L2, and the polarization reversal period of the periodically-poled structure is determined to satisfy quasi-phase matching conditions for the aforementioned wavelength conversion and/or optical computing. As a result, the problems associated with wavelength conversion of the pulsed light due to a difference in the group velocity are suppressed.
