A Raman laser conversion device for generating a single longitudinal mode, SLM, laser output is disclosed. The device comprises a Raman medium that exhibits a Stokes emission when subject to pumping by a laser pump input, the laser pump input having a pump linewidth and the Raman medium having a Raman linewidth; wherein the Raman medium is configured to define feedback interfaces of a resonator such that the Stokes emission resonates within the Raman medium; and further wherein the free spectral range, FSR, of the resonator with respect to the pump linewidth and/or the Raman linewidth or a function thereof is such that only one longitudinal mode of the Stokes emission is able to resonate within the Raman medium; whereby the laser conversion device generates a SLM laser output that is frequency shifted with respect to the laser pump input.

A fluorescence guide plate includes first and second surfaces, an edge surface connecting a periphery of the first surface with a periphery of the second surface, and a dichroic mirror laminated on the first surface. Fluorescent material is dispersed at least one of inside a space defined by the first surface, the second surface, and the edge surface, on the first surface, or on the second surface. The fluorescence guide plate has a plate-shaped structure made of a material with a higher refractive index than an outside. The fluorescence guide plate is configured such that, when irradiation light enters from the first surface, the fluorescence emitted from the fluorescent material exits from the edge surface. A reflection wavelength band of a normal incident beam reflected by the dichroic mirror lies in a range of wavelengths longer than a peak wavelength of a fluorescence wavelength band of the fluorescent material.
