Laser element and electronic device

Abstract

The present disclosure can generate laser light having an ultrashort pulse and high peak power, be miniaturized, and improve light-pulse light conversion efficiency. A laser element includes: a laminated semiconductor layer that includes a first reflection layer for a first wavelength and an active layer that performs surface light emission at the first wavelength; a laser medium that is disposed on a rear side of an optical axis of the laminated semiconductor layer, and includes a second reflection layer for a second wavelength on a first surface facing the laminated semiconductor layer and a third reflection layer for the first wavelength on a second surface on an opposite side to the first surface; a fourth reflection layer for the second wavelength that is disposed further toward the rear side of the optical axis than the second surface; a first resonator that resonates light of the first wavelength between the first reflection layer and the third reflection layer; a second resonator that resonates light of the second wavelength between the second reflection layer and the fourth reflection layer; and a semiconductor saturable absorber that is disposed between the third reflection layer and the fourth reflection layer and generates the light of the second wavelength by mode-locking, and the optical axis of the laminated semiconductor layer and an optical axis of the laser medium are uniaxially arranged.
