    摘要: A wavelength conversion device in which the fundamental wave is converged in a non-linear optical crystal for effecting wavelength conversion, and in which no significant peak is generated in the non-linear optical crystal even if the power of the input fundamental wave is high. The spot radius at the converging point of the fundamental wave is selected to be 0.0014 to 0.0023 cm, while the crystal length of the non-linear optical crystal is selected to be 0.5 to 1.2 cm. If this range is met, the light intensity distribution in the non-linear optical crystal becomes of the top hat type, such that no peak is generated.

    摘要: An optical recording medium, typically an optical disc, has a recording region of a laser medium extending thicknesswise thereof, and a reference region positioned radially inwardly of the recording region for emitting reference light. The recording region has pits and lands formed on a surface thereof as representing recorded information. The pits and lands having respective first surfaces parallel to corresponding second surfaces on an opposite surface of the recording region. The first and second surfaces provide different thicknesses of the recording region. When pumping light emitted from a semiconductor laser, for example, is applied to the recording region, the recording region operates as optical resonators between the first and second surfaces for emitting laser signal light of a variable frequency depending on the recorded information. The optical resonators have respective optical axes extending thicknesswise of the recording region.
