LASER OSCILLATOR
A macroscopic entanglement state in which a polarization state has a strong quantum correlation is realized by use of a macroscopic laser light. A laser oscillator includes a ring resonator having an optical fiber ring, an optical amplifier for maintaining an amplitude of a laser pulsed light propagating on the optical fiber ring, and three optical fibers that are connected with respective polarization controllers, and, after changing a polarization state of the laser pulsed light being a qubit extracted at a predetermined branch ratio from the optical fiber ring by the polarization controllers, couples the changed laser pulsed light whose polarization state has been changed with the laser pulsed light propagating on the optical fiber ring, and each polarization controller rotates the polarization state of the laser pulsed light with an S1 axis, an S2 axis, and an S3 axis, which are orthogonal to each other, as a rotation axis.

LASER SYSTEM FOR HARMONIC GENERATION WITHOUT INTRACAVITY ASTIGMATISM
The present invention describes a laser system for eliminating astigmatism to produce an elliptical laser beam that has an ellipticity between about 0.9 to 1.0. The laser system described herein allows for increased conversion efficiency and output powers. on-linear optical elements in the laser system eliminate astigmatism. The laser system comprises one or more cavities with wavelength splitters that act as dual-minor chambers for single-pass light transmission through the non-linear optical elements to reduce cavity size or as beam splitters for double-pass light transmission through the non-linear optical elements to increase laser output power. The laser system may also include a birefringent filter and/or etalon in the first cavity for polarization and wavelength tuning. The laser system may also generate a high-power, deep-ultraviolet laser output. The laser system may also be devoid of curved mirrors and non-normal incidence reflection to eliminate astigmatism.
