    Abstract: An irradiation spot of the laser beam having a large power density can be formed by a condensing apparatus which combines a plurality of laser lights without using a power combiner. The condensing apparatus comprises an optical fiber bundle formed of a plurality of optical fibers. One end of the optical fiber bundle forms an incident side bundle end, while the other end forms an emission side bundle end. The optical fiber bundle includes, at the emission side bundle end, an optical deflection unit that deflects at least two light beams emitted from respective light emission ends of at least two optical fibers toward different directions, respectively, such that the at least two light beams overlap each other on at least one cross section at rear on an optical path of the emission side bundle end and are then scattered.

    Abstract: Abstract of DisclosureAn optical signal amplifier comprises a light source, a depolarizer, and a gain medium that transfers energy from a pump beam output from the depolarizer to the optical signal. The depolarizer may comprise one or more birefringent optical fibers which support two polarization modes, a fast mode and a slow mode. The light propagates in the fast mode at a higher velocity than the light propagates in the slow mode so as to impart phase delay as the light propagates in the birefringent optical fibers, thereby at least partially depolarizing the beam.

    Abstract: A pulsed laser device includes a laser light source, an electro-optic modulator, a laser light source driver, an electro-optic modulator driver, and a controller to control the laser light source driver and the electro-optic modulator driver. The laser light source outputs pulsed laser light pulse-modulated by the laser light source driver. The electro-optic modulator outputs pulsed laser light obtained by causing the electro-optic modulator driver to pulse-modulate the pulsed laser light from the laser light source. The control unit controls the laser light source driver and the electro-optic modulator driver such that the electro-optic modulator turns on at least while the laser light source is on and the electro-optic modulator turns on at least once while the laser light source is off, thereby increasing a duty ratio of the pulse modulation for the electro-optic modulator relative to a duty ratio of the pulse modulation for the laser light source.

    Abstract: An optical probe includes: an optical fiber; a reflecting portion; and a traveling direction changing portion changing a traveling direction of a laser beam of a first wavelength that has transmitted through the reflecting portion to a direction different from a traveling direction before transmitting through the reflecting portion. Further, the traveling direction changing portion is configured by a bending structure having a structure in which a portion on a distal end side of the optical fiber is bent, and the reflecting portion is provided closer to a proximal end side of the optical fiber than the bending structure.
