Abstract: A dustproof cover having a reduced size in a depth direction is formed. In displaying a virtual image visible to a driver by reflecting projection light projected in front of a driver on a windshield (light-transmitting member), a dustproof cover provided in a path of the projection light to close an opening includes a recessed surface provided throughout a front and rear direction of a vehicle, and a cylindrical surface provided such that the recessed surface is continuous throughout a right and left direction of the vehicle. Curvatures of the recessed surface are configured to increase toward a front side of the vehicle, and therefore outer light entering the opening from a position above the vehicle is reflected in a direction invisible to the driver.

Abstract: There is disclosed a solid-state laser resonator capable of outputting a high power linearly polarized laser beam, in which a laser beam subjected to the birefringence in the laser resonator is effected to minimize a component of the laser beam which is orthogonal with the direction of polarization definable by a Brewster plate upon traversing a quarter-wave plate, to enable the linear polarization output distribution of the laser beam to become uniform. With this, the emission efficiency and the output power of a linearly polarized laser beam are much improved.

One pulse laser beam from the laser beam source is separated into linear polarized laser beams in first and second directions by a polarization beam splitter, with the beam in the first direction being outputted as a first pulse beam of the multi-pulse beam. The beam in the second direction is incident to a combination of an optical fiber or a glass plate and a 1/4 wavelength plate, and is delayed and non-linearly polarized there to become a delayed and non-linearly polarized laser beam.
