Problems solved by technology

In addition, the polarization plane of the light must be aligned with an intermediate direction, and since the laser beam cannot be incident at a right angle to the crystal plane in most cases, it is difficult to control the orientation or polarization plane of the beam
Even if it is temporarily adjusted to the optimal orientation, since it is used for laser processing, the laser energy is large and the optical components are heated strongly, and it is located in a working environment with a lot of vibration and noise. Confused

[0120] First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, in order to understand the present invention, it will be described in order starting with an easy-to-understand model.

[0121] [1. Electric field of monolayer film]

[0122] First, the relationship of the steady-state electric field generated in the case of a monolayer film was investigated. Such as figure 1 As shown, it is formed in the form of vacuum 1, intermediate layer, and vacuum 2. Let the traveling direction of light be the z-axis, the upward coordinate be the x-axis, and the vertically upward coordinate with respect to the paper surface be the y-axis. Although oblique incidence is possible, here, for simplicity, the layers are arranged in the z direction so that the interface between the layers is the xy plane. Due to the use of plane waves, the electric field only has the x component E x . Since there is no distortion, only E exists in all layers x . Since it is the sam...

Subsequently, a comparative example using a resonator sandwiched on both sides of a GaAs monolayer film will be described.

Abstract

A composite photonic structure element includes a photonic crystal and a multi-layer film. The photonic crystal is formed by alternately laying an active layer having a nonlinear effect for converting a fundamental wave into a second higher harmonic and an inactive layer having no nonlinear effect, so that the energy of the fundamental wave coincides with the photonic band gap end. The multi-layer film is formed by layering a plurality of sets of two types of thin films having different refractive indexes so as to reflect the fundamental wave. The multi-layer film is connected to both ends of the photonic crystal. The fundamental wave comes into one of the end faces and the fundamental wave is reciprocally reflected between resonators having a multi-layer film so that the intensity of the fundamental wave in the photonic crystal is increased. The fundamental wave is converted into a second higher harmonic in the active layer and the second higher harmonic is extracted outside from the other end face.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a compound photon structural element that converts the wavelength of laser light into a second harmonic by using nonlinear optical effects to generate a third nonlinear signal, a surface emitting laser using the compound photon structural element, a wavelength conversion element, and a Laser processing device for transforming elements. The technique of converting the fundamental wave (wavelength 1.06 μm) of YAG laser to the second harmonic wave (532 nm) using a nonlinear element for the purpose of laser processing has been widely used. This is a laser processing device composed of a laser that generates a fundamental wave, a wavelength conversion element that converts the fundamental wave into a second harmonic, and an optical system that condenses the second harmonic and irradiates the target. Materials that are transparent to the fundamental and opaque to the second harmonic can be processed by the second harmonic. Th...
