Abstract
A laser-diode-pumped solid state laser includes a Fabry-Perot resonator having a pair of resonator mirrors. A holder is provided with a pair of mirror mounting portions respectively having mirror mounting surfaces which are spaced from each other in the direction of the optical axis of the resonator and extend to intersect the optical axis of the resonator, and with connecting portion which is formed integrally with the mirror mounting portions to connect the mirror mounting portions. The resonator mirrors are fixed to the mirror mounting portions with their light transmissive end faces bonded to the mirror mounting surfaces of the holder.
Claims5
A laser-diode-pumped solid state laser comprising a Fabry-Perot resonator having a pair of resonator mirrors comprising:
- a single body holder having a pair of mirror mounting portions respectively having mirror mounting surfaces which are spaced from each other in the direction of the optical axis of the resonator and extend to intersect the optical axis of the resonator, and further having a connecting portion which is formed integrally with the mirror mounting portions to connect the mirror mounting portions,
- wherein each of the resonator mirrors is affixed to a respective mirror mounting portion by an adhesive provided between each resonator mirror's light transmissive surface and a mirror mounting surface of the respective mirror mounting portion, and wherein each resonator mirror's perimeter end is unconstrained by the respective mirror mounting portion such that the adhesive readjusts the position of the mirror without changing the length of the optical axis of the resonator during a temperature change.
