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： In the first period from pumping start time T1 to time T2 in a laser light source 1, the power of pumping light L1 outputted from a pumping light source 41 so as to irradiate a laser medium 21 is at value P1 whereas the power of light L2 incident on a saturable absorber 30 after being emitted from the laser medium 21 is at an absorption saturation threshold or lower, which causes a resonator 10 to lower its Q-value, thereby suppressing the laser oscillation. Immediately before time T2, the power of light L2 is slightly lower than the absorption saturation threshold. In the second period subsequent to the first period, the power of light L2 is at value P2 greater than the above-mentioned value P1, whereas the power of light L2 exceeds the absorption saturation threshold, which causes the resonator 10 to increase its Q-value, whereby a mirror 12 outputs pulse laser light L3 to the outside.

摘要： A solid-state laser apparatus 1 bounces laser light L2 between an end mirror 3 and an output mirror 4 via a slab-type solid-state laser medium 2 excited by excitation light L1 to thereby amplify and output the laser light L2. The solid-state laser medium 2 includes incident/exit end faces 2a, 2b on and from which the laser light L2 is made incident and exits, and reflecting end faces 2c, 2d which reflect the laser light L2 so that the incident laser light L2 propagates in a zigzag manner. The incident/exit end face 2a is made incident with the excitation light L1 so that the excitation light L1 propagates along substantially the same propagation path as that of the laser light L2 within the solid-state laser medium 2. Accordingly, a solid-state laser apparatus which can improve the coupling efficiency between the excitation light and the laser light is realized.
