  • Patent number: 9122018
    Abstract: Grooves (22, 23) for containing an optical fiber and five recesses (24) for containing the optical components for an optical fiber amplifier are provided in the surface of a substrate (21). An optical fiber fitted in a groove (23a) for containing the optical fiber and introduced to the substrate (21) is passed through a groove (22a) for containing the optical fiber and fitted in a groove (22) for containing the optical fiber, thence passed through a groove (22b) for containing the optical fiber and introduced to the outside of the substrate (21). In the recess (24) for containing the optical component for an optical fiber amplifier, an optical component such as a photocoupler is fitted and coupled with the optical fiber. Light such as pumping light is passed through an optical fiber contained in the groove (23) for containing the optical fiber and introduced to an optical component such as a photocoupler.

  • Patent number: 8929410
    Abstract: An ultraviolet laser device comprises a laser beam output unit that outputs infra-red laser beams, and a wavelength conversion unit that wavelength converts the infra-red laser beams. The laser beam output unit comprises a first laser beam output unit that outputs a first infra-red laser beam whose wavelength is 1900-2000 nm, and a second laser beam output unit that outputs a second infra-red laser beam whose wavelength is 1000-1100 nm. The wavelength conversion unit comprises a first element series that the first infra-red light beam is incident upon and propagated through, and a second element series that the laser light propagated through the first element series and the second infra-red laser beam are incident upon, combined in, and propagated through, and constructed so that ultraviolet laser light is outputted, due to the first and second infra-red laser beams being wavelength converted by optical wavelength conversion elements.

  • Patent number: 7623557
    Abstract: A fifth harmonic wave is formed from a fundamental wave of p-polarized light via a second harmonic wave forming optical element 3, a third harmonic wave forming optical element 4, and a fifth harmonic wave forming optical element 6 and a second harmonic wave of p-polarized light is formed from a fundamental wave of s-polarized light by a second harmonic wave forming optical element 9. The fifth harmonic wave of p-polarized light that is subjected to beam shaping by cylindrical lenses 7 and 8, the fundamental wave of s-polarized light, and the second harmonic wave of p-polarized light are combined by a dichroic mirror 10, and are incident on a seventh harmonic wave forming optical element 11.
