    摘要: A planar waveguide laser device forms a waveguide by a plate-like laser medium (1) having birefringence and clad (2a, 2b) attached to at least one of the surfaces of the laser medium (1) perpendicular to its thickness direction, amplifies laser light by a gain produced by excitation light incident on the laser medium (1), and performs laser oscillation. The laser medium (1) is formed of a material having an optic axis on a cross section perpendicular to the light axis, which is the laser travelling direction. The clad (2a, 2b) is formed of a material having a refractive index in a range between refractive indexes of two polarized lights that travel along the light axis in the laser medium (1) and have oscillation surfaces that are orthogonal to each other. The planar waveguide laser device readily oscillates linearly polarized laser light.

    摘要: A plane waveguide type laser according to the present invention includes: a plate-shaped laser medium (5); a semiconductor laser (1) which causes excitation light to enter an end surface (5a) of the laser medium (5); first and second claddings (4a and 4b) which are bonded to lower and upper surfaces of the laser medium (5), respectively, to form a waveguide in a vertical direction; a comb heat sink (2) bonded to a lower surface of the first cladding (4a); and thermal lens producing means (20) bonded to an upper surface of the second cladding (4b). In this structure, laser oscillation in the vertical direction is performed in a waveguide mode of the laser medium (5), and the thermal lens producing means (20) forms a periodic lens effect in the laser medium (5) to perform laser oscillation in a lateral direction in a plurality of resonant modes. Therefore, a resonator having a small round-trip loss maybe formed without depending on a size of a thermal lens produced by excitation, and hence a rising characteristic of a pulse operation or a CW operation may be smoothed to obtain high-power stable output.

    摘要: In a laser device, a control range of focal distance of a generated thermal lens is broadened and reliability is improved. A mode control waveguide-type laser device includes: a planar laser medium having a waveguide structure in a thickness direction of a cross section perpendicular to an optical axis, for generating gain with respect to laser light; a cladding bonded onto the laser medium; and a heat sink bonded onto the laser medium. The laser medium generates a lens effect, and the laser light oscillates in a waveguide mode in the thickness direction, and oscillates in a spatial mode due to the lens effect in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and the thickness direction. The refractive index distribution within the laser medium is created by generating a temperature distribution in the laser medium depending on a junction area of the cladding and the heat sink.
