  • Patent number: 8797641
    Abstract: An input light pulse Pi, input at a constant incident angle to a transmission-type diffraction grating 20, is dispersed according to the wavelengths to be output at output angles according to the wavelengths, to be reflected by reflecting mirrors 41, 42, and 43 in series, and thereafter, the light rays are input at incident angles according to their wavelengths to the transmission-type diffraction grating 20, to be output at a constant output angle from the transmission-type diffraction grating 20.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2010
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2014
    Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.

  • Patent number: 8724673
    Abstract: A pulse fiber laser device 1 has a Fabry-Perot type optical resonator, and is provided with an excitation light source 11, an optical coupling unit 12, an amplifying optical fiber 13, a saturable absorber 14, a gradient index lens 15, an optical output unit 16, a dispersion adjusting unit 17, a mirror 21 and a mirror 22. The saturable absorber 14 and the mirror 21, integrated into one body, constitute a saturable absorber mirror 23. The gradient index lens 15 converges the light output from an end face of an optical fiber 32 and outputs the light to the saturable absorber mirror 23, and inputs the light reflected from the saturable absorber mirror 23 into the end face of the optical fiber 32. Thus, there is provided a pulse fiber laser device that enables easy adjustment of the intensity of light incident on a saturable absorber and facilitates miniaturization.
