摘要:
There is provided an optical system, including: an extracting section, the refractive index of the extracting section being approximately the same as the refractive index of an observed object, the extracting section being optically coupled with the observed object to thereby extract a terahertz electromagnetic wave generated from the observed object; and an ellipsoidal reflector surface having a first focal point and a second focal point, the observed object being to be arranged on the first focal point, a photoconductive device being on the second focal point, the photoconductive device being configured to detect the terahertz electromagnetic wave extracted by the extracting section, the ellipsoidal reflector surface guiding the extracted terahertz electromagnetic wave to the photoconductive device.
摘要:
There is provided a passive Q-switch pulse laser device including a laser medium, and a saturable absorber. The laser medium is disposed between a pair of reflection means included in an optical resonator. The laser medium is excited by specific excitation light to emit emission light. The saturable absorber is disposed on an optical axis of the optical resonator and on a downstream side of the laser medium between the pair of reflection means. The saturable absorber has a transmittance increased by absorption of the emission light. At least one of the pair of reflection means is a polarizing element. The polarizing element has different reflectances with respect to the respective pieces of emission light in polarization directions orthogonal to each other.
