Solid-state laser oscillator

摘要

A solid-state laser oscillator comprising solid-state laser rods disposed coaxially in series with each other, radiating light when excited, and amplifying the light through stimulated emission. A solid-state laser rod exciting device excites any number of solid-state laser rods with a 90° optical rotator disposed coaxially and arranged between the rods. The rotator rotates a component of the light generated in the axial direction while heat lens compensating devices are disposed coaxially with the solid-state laser rods. A reflecting device and a partial reflection device are disposed coaxially and arranged, outside of the solid-state laser rods and heat lens compensating devices, for propagating the axially generated component of the light. An exciting source driving device drives the exciting sources included in the solid-state laser rod exciting device.
