摘要:
A light source having (a) a light emitter that emits a light beam along a first axis, the light beam having a highest degree of anisotropic coherency in a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; and (b) a light multiplexer positioned optically downstream of the light emitter, the multiplexer having an axis of multiplexing perpendicular to the first axis, the second axis and the axis of multiplexing being oriented at an angle with respect to each other that is other than 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees.
摘要:
A wavelength conversion apparatus capable of keeping high wavelength conversion efficiency for a longer time than ever before is provided. A wavelength conversion apparatus includes: a wavelength conversion section including a nonlinear optical crystal, and performing wavelength conversion of incident laser light by allowing the incident laser light to pass through the nonlinear optical crystal; and a relative position control section, when wavelength conversion is performed by the wavelength conversion section, relatively displacing the incident position of the incident laser light in an incident plane into which the incident laser light enters of the nonlinear optical crystal in a direction including a projection direction component of a +C axis to the incident plane in the nonlinear optical crystal or a direction orthogonal to the projection direction component.
