A passive Q-switch laser has an excitation source 1 for outputting excitation light; a laser medium 3 between a pair of reflective mirrors 5a, 5b that constitute part of an optical resonator, the laser medium emitting laser light upon being excited by the excitation light from the excitation source: a saturable absorber 4 disposed between the pair of reflective mirrors, the saturable absorber being configured such that the transmittance thereof increases as the laser light beam the laser medium is absorbed, a matrix table 22 in which the excitation-source output and the optimal value of the pulse width are stored in association with the repetition frequency; and a control unit 21 for referring to the matrix table, reading out the excitation-source output and the optimal value of the pulse width that correspond to an inputted repetition frequency, and controlling the excitation source such that the read-out excitation-source output and optimal value of the pulse width are attained.
A passive Q-switch laser, comprising:
An operation optimization method of a passive Q-switch laser, which comprises an excitation source that is excited at a repetition frequency and outputs an excitation light;
