There has been a problem that pumping light leaks from a part having a coating at the joint of a double-clad fiber added with a rare earth and a general single-mode fiber, and heat is generated partly from the fiber by this energy thus causing deterioration of the fiber.

Output of oscillation light can be increased because output of excitation light is not limited. Furthermore, a laser display having a high color reproducibility can be achieved by employing a light source combining a fiber laser light source and a wavelength conversion module.
