摘要:
A wavelength conversion device exhibiting an excellent wavelength conversion efficiency is provided by forming it in such a manner that an LiTaO.sub.3 substrate is subjected to a proton exchange treatment to form a proton-exchange layer before the proton-exchange layer is subjected to heat treatment to form a domain-inverted structure. Heat treatment is performed at a high temperature rising speed to prevent the thermal diffusion of the proton-exchange layer so that the expansion of the domain-inverted structure to be formed in the proton-exchange layer is restrained. As a result, a higher harmonic wave wavelength conversion device can be provided.

A tapered light wave guide reduced in propagation loss, improved in coupling efficiency and free from the problem of optical damage. An input section, a widthwise tapered coupling section having a depth d2, and a wave guide having a depth d1 are formed on an LiNbO.sub.3 substrate. A depthwise tapered section in which the depth is changed from d2 to d1 is provided to connect the widthwise tapered coupling section having constant depth d2 and the wave guide, whereby a reduction in light propagation efficiency due to optical damage is prevented.

A frequency doubler of the invention employs a nonlinear optical effect of stabilizing the harmonic output from the frequency doubler. The frequency doubler has an LiNbO.sub.3 substrate, domain inverted regions and a waveguide, which are formed on the substrate, and a thin-film heater formed on the waveguide by depositing Ni-Cr. The temperature of the frequency doubler is controlled by applying a current to the thin-film heater so as to heat the frequency doubler. Even if the wavelength of a semiconductor laser is changed due to change in the environmental temperature, the frequency doubler can stably be operated by changing the temperature of the frequency doubler.

A wavelength conversion element is provided with a substrate including a nonlinear optical single crystal having a periodically poled structure, wherein a visible light transmittance of the substrate is 85% or higher when ultraviolet light is irradiated to the substrate. Further, a laser light having an average output of 1 W or more is outputted by shortening a wavelength of inputted laser light having a wavelength of 640 nm to 2000 nm. By improving visible light transmission characteristics when the ultraviolet light is irradiated in this way, a breakdown of crystal can be prevented and a stabilization of output characteristics at high output can be realized. As a result, an absorption of green light induced by ultraviolet light can also be suppressed and a saturation of output and the breakdown of crystal can be avoided.
