  • LASER MEDIUM UNIT AND LASER DEVICE
    Publication number: 20240106182
    Abstract: Disclosed is a laser medium unit that includes a laser medium and a holding body. The laser medium has a pair of end surfaces. The holding body surrounds the laser medium when viewed form a direction intersecting with the pair of end surfaces and holds the laser medium. The holding body includes a deformation allowing portion that extends from the inside to the outside of the holding body when viewed from the direction intersecting with the pair of end surfaces. The laser medium and the holding body are in contact with each other. A contact region of the holding body with the laser medium has a width in the direction intersecting with the pair of end surfaces and extends along a side surface of the laser medium when viewed from the direction intersecting with the pair of end surfaces.

  • Target substance transfer method, crystal production method, composition production method, and target substance transfer device
    Patent number: 9751068
    Abstract: The present invention provides a target substance transfer method, a crystal production method, a composition production method, and a target substance transfer device, which allow the concentration of a target substance to be increased easily and effectively. The target substance transfer method is a method for transferring a target substance 103 from a first phase 101 that is a liquid or solid phase containing the target substance 103 to a second phase 102 including: a phase approximation step of bringing the first phase 101 and the second phase 102 into close proximity; and a bubble collapse step of forming bubbles in the vicinity of a boundary between the first phase 101 and the second phase 102 and then causing the bubbles to collapse.
