Q-switch structure and method of producing q-switch structure

A Q-switch structure comprising:

• a solid-state laser medium;
• and
• a magneto-optical material, wherein
• the solid-state laser medium and the magneto-optical material are joined and integrated;
• a first anti-reflecting film for adhesive is formed on a surface of the solid-state laser medium;
• a second anti-reflecting film for adhesive is formed on a surface of the magneto-optical material;
• and
• the first anti-reflecting film for adhesive on the solid-state laser medium and the second anti-reflecting film for adhesive on the magneto-optical material are bonded via a translucent material having a transparency at a laser oscillation wavelength of laser oscillated from the solid-state laser medium.

A method of producing a Q-switch structure comprising a solid-state laser medium and a magneto-optical material in which the solid-state laser medium and the magneto-optical material are joined and integrated, the method comprising the steps of:

• preparing the solid-state laser medium and the magneto-optical material;
• forming a first anti-reflecting film for adhesive on a surface of the solid-state laser medium;
• forming a second anti-reflecting film for adhesive on a surface of the magneto-optical material;
• and
• bonding the first anti-reflecting film for adhesive on the solid-state laser medium and the second anti-reflecting film for adhesive on the magneto-optical material via a translucent material having a transparency at a laser oscillation wavelength of laser oscillated from the solid-state laser medium.
