  • Laser device
    Patent number: 11114810
    Abstract: A laser device includes a first laser medium and a second laser medium that have a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and receive input of excitation light and seed light from the first surface side to amplify the seed light, a holder that holds the first laser medium and the second laser medium; and a pair of cooling units that cool the first laser medium and the second laser medium according to change in volume of a refrigerant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 29, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 7, 2021
    Assignee: HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K.
    Inventors: Koichi Iyama, Yasuki Takeuchi, Yuma Hatano, Takaaki Morita, Takuto Iguchi, Yoshinori Kato, Takashi Sekine
  • Laser medium unit and laser device
    Patent number: 10862261
    Abstract: A laser medium unit includes: a plate-shaped laser gain medium which includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and generates emission light by the irradiation of excitation light from the first surface; a reflection member that is provided on the second surface so as to reflect the excitation light and the emission light; and a cooling member that cools the laser gain medium. The laser gain medium includes an irradiation area which is irradiated with the excitation light and an outer area which is located outside the irradiation area when viewed from a thickness direction intersecting the first surface and the second surface. The cooling member is thermally connected to the second surface through the reflection member so that a cooling area of the laser gain medium is formed on the second surface.
