。In Fig. 6, 9 is a crescent-shaped SH light (Cherenkov cone), 21 is a conical lens, and SH
The rotational symmetry axes of the HO2 conical lens 21 are aligned. The operation of the light beam shaping means configured as described above will be explained. In FIG. 5, angle a is the Cherenkov radiation angle, which is a constant determined by the Cherenkov radiation mechanism. The angle β is the angle of incidence of the Cherenkov radiation 9 entering the bottom surface of the conical lens 21, the angle γ is the corresponding output angle, the angle δ is the angle of incidence on the side surface of the conical lens 21, and the angle ε corresponds to this. The exit angle, corner 4, is the conical lens 2.
The angle between the Cherenkov radiation beam refracted by the side surface of the conical lens 21 and the side surface, and the angle () are half angles of the apex angle of the conical lens 21.

Solving for α and η under the condition that they are parallel to the axis of rotational symmetry of the conical lens 21, that is, γ+δ=ε ζ=η, gives the following equation.

に一致させれば良い。Therefore, when a Cherenkov cone with an apex angle of 2α is given, if n and η exist that satisfy the relationship of equation (1), all the Cherenkov radiation 9 in FIG. As a result, even in the three-dimensional structure of Fig. 6 obtained by rotating the figure in Fig. 6 around the axis of rotational symmetry, all the Cherenkov radiation is parallel to the axis of rotational symmetry, i.e. It becomes parallel light. As an example of n and η, in the case of our experiments, lithium niobate (L z Nb
O5) When a laser beam with a wavelength of 860 nm is incident on a waveguide formed on the substrate surface, the radiation angle is 63°, where α is taken as α. At this time, for example, the glass material LaK14 (n=1,71
6at wavelength = 430 nm), η-33° is obtained. Now, since the parallel light obtained here is a ring-shaped parallel light, in order to expand or reduce the diameter of the luminous flux, as in the conventional example, a pair of spherical concave and convex lenses is set at the confocal position, and the The optical axis may be made to coincide with the axis of rotational symmetry of the conical lens 21 shown in FIG.

まず、円錐状レンズ41をSHG素子4に設けられた光
導波路2と中心軸を合わせて設けることによって、SH
G素子4と同軸方向にSH光31が得られる。First, by providing the conical lens 41 with its central axis aligned with the optical waveguide 2 provided in the SHG element 4, the SH
SH light 31 is obtained coaxially with the G element 4.

示しない筐体に半導体レーザー6やレンズ6.7と共に
円錐状レンズ41を組み立てる際に光軸中心を一致させ
るアライメントが容易に行えるようにしたものである。The reason why the cylindrical portion 42 is provided on the conical lens 41 is to facilitate alignment of the optical axis centers when assembling the conical lens 41 together with the semiconductor laser 6 and lens 6.7 in a housing (not shown). This is what I did.
次に第2の実施例について第2図を参照して説明する。Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

Furthermore, since the SHG element 4 and the conical lens 43 are integrally fixed, there is also the effect that the deviation of the optical axis due to temperature, vibration, etc. is reduced.

くる。In this figure, the same parts as in FIG. 7 are given the same numbers, and their explanations will be omitted. In this embodiment, the tip 47 of the SHG element 4 is formed into a semi-conical shape and a conical lens is integrated therein, so that four parallel lights can be obtained. This conical shape is based on the same idea as described in the explanation of the action, and although detailed calculations are omitted, the apex angle of the Cherenkov cone is
α, the apex angle of the beam shaping unit 47 is 2θ, and the refractive index of the optical crystal is n. When the following relationship holds true, the Cerenkov cone generated with the waveguide 2 as the axis of rotational symmetry is output to the outside as parallel light. It's coming.
以上のように、光束整形部47を光学結晶基板1から削

の実施例と同様の温度、振動に対する効果を得ることが
出来る。As described above, by cutting out the beam shaping part 47 from the optical crystal substrate 1, there is no need to adjust the alignment of the rotational symmetry axis, the number of parts is reduced, and the second to third
The same effects on temperature and vibration as in the embodiment can be obtained.
なお第1の実施例で、円錐状レンズ41に円筒部42を
設けたが、他の光軸合わせの手段を用いることによって
、円筒部分がなくとも構わない。In the first embodiment, the conical lens 41 is provided with the cylindrical portion 42, but the cylindrical portion may be omitted by using other optical axis alignment means.
又、円錐の頂角等、実際に光の通らない部分は切断され
た形であっても何ら支障ない。Further, there is no problem even if the portion where light does not actually pass, such as the apex angle of the cone, is cut off.
また第2の実施例で、円錐状レンズ43を中心軸を通る
平面で切断したが、必らずしも中心軸を通らなくとも、
中心軸を平行な平面であっても構わない。Further, in the second embodiment, the conical lens 43 is cut along a plane passing through the central axis, but it is not necessary to cut through the central axis.
The central axis may be a parallel plane.

が、内部にあっても構°わない。In addition, in all examples, the light of the semiconductor laser is focused,
Although we used a collimating lens and a focus lens to input the light into the optical waveguide, it is not necessary to use two lenses; it is also possible to condense and introduce the light into the waveguide with a single lens, as is conventionally known. It is possible. Furthermore, although the purpose of the above explanation was to obtain parallel light, it is also possible to converge or diffuse the Cherenkov radiation by changing the angle between the rotationally symmetric plane through which the Cherenkov radiation passes and the Cherenkov radiation. It is possible. Further, in the fourth embodiment, the waveguide 2 is formed on the surface of the optical crystal 1, but it may be formed inside the optical crystal 1.
その場合、光束整形部47は半円錐状ではなく、円錐状
になる。In that case, the beam shaping section 47 does not have a semi-conical shape but a conical shape.
