WAVELENGTH CONVERSION LIGHT SOURCE APPARATUS AND WAVELENGTH CONVERSION METHOD

摘要

A wavelength conversion light source apparatus includes a fundamental wave light source configured to emit a fundamental wave, a nonlinear crystal configured to convert a wavelength of the fundamental wave by being irradiated with the fundamental wave and making the fundamental wave pass therethrough, and a movement unit configured to place the nonlinear crystal thereon and continuously move the nonlinear crystal within a plane, where a phase matching condition is not violated, so that a passage path of the fundamental wave passing through the nonlinear crystal is changed.
