LASER LIGHT-SOURCE APPARATUS AND LASER PULSE LIGHT GENERATING METHOD
A laser light-source apparatus includes; a seed light source; a fiber amplifier configured to amplify pulse light output from the seed light source based on gain switching; a solid state amplifier configured to further amplify the resultant pulse light; a nonlinear optical element configured to perform wavelength conversion on the pulse light output from the solid state amplifier; an optical switching element that is disposed between the fiber amplifier and the solid state amplifier and is configured to remove ASE noise; and a control unit. The control unit is configured to control the optical switching element in such a manner that propagation of light is permitted in an output period of the pulse light from the seed light source, and is stopped in a period other than the output period.
Passivation of Nonlinear Optical Crystals
A laser system includes a nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal, wherein the NLO crystal is annealed within a selected temperature range. The NLO crystal is passivated with at least one of hydrogen, deuterium, a hydrogen-containing compound or a deuterium-containing compound to a selected passivation level. The system further includes at least one light source, wherein at least one light source is configured to generate light of a selected wavelength and at least one light source is configured to transmit light through the NLO crystal. The system further includes a crystal housing unit configured to house the NLO crystal.
