摘要： A distributed Bragg reflection (DBR) semiconductor laser is controlled in an image projecting apparatus. The image projecting apparatus includes the DBR semiconductor laser which is provided with a phase region and a DBR region, a light wavelength converting device for converting fundamental-wave light emitted from the DBR semiconductor laser into second harmonic wave light, an optical deflector for scanning the second harmonic wave in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional manner, and a modulating portion for modulating the DBR semiconductor laser based on an image signal. In the control method, a coefficient calculating step and a wavelength adjusting step are performed within a non-drawing time during which a drawing signal, which corresponds to the image signal, is absent. In the coefficient calculating step, at least one coefficient in a relationship between a DBR current to be injected into the DBR region and a phase current to be injected into the phase region for continuously shifting the wavelength of the fundamental-wave light is calculated. In the wavelength adjusting step, the DBR current injected into the DBR region and the phase current injected into the phase region are changed based on the relationship such that the second harmonic wave light is adjusted.

摘要： A display element includes a substrate and a display pattern formed on the substrate, the display pattern including a diffraction grating. The width in the direction perpendicular to the grating lines of the diffraction grating of the display pattern is selected so as to prevent re-diffraction of the light diffracted by the one diffraction grating. An observation apparatus includes the afore-said display element, but the display pattern has a first diffraction grating structure and a second diffraction grating structure. An illuminating system and an observation system are added so as to allow for observation of the display pattern. The direction of the grating lines of the first diffraction grating structure differs from that of the grating lines of the second diffraction grating structure, thereby preventing the occurrence of a rainbow-like image.

摘要： There is provided a harmonic generator generates high power laser light and can be modulated at high modulation rate. The semiconductor laser emits a first output light when a bias current is supplied, and a second output light when a modulating current is superposed to the bias current. On of the first output lights has a wavelength inside of a wavelength tolerance of phase-matching of the wavelength-converting element. The other has a wavelength outside of the wavelength tolerance of phase-matching.
