Abstract

PURPOSE:To scale down a pulse width expanding device by using an optical glass with a high refraction factor for a pulse delay mechanism. CONSTITUTION:Out of two beams that a beam splitting mirror 1 splits, the one goes straight and reaches a re-junction mirror 3. The other is multiplex- reflected by the optical delay mechanism 3 made of glass with a high refraction factor, lags behind the former beam and reaches the re-junction mirror 3. By jointing both of them again, a leaser pulse beam with the wide width of a pulse can be obtained. Since the optical glass with a high refraction factor is used as a pulse propagation medium, the length of an actual optical path can be twice its original width. Besides to that, the device can be scaled down because plural pulse divisions are not needed.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Until now, in order to widen the pulse width of a pulsed laser,
So-called multiple beam splitters consisting of multiple beam splitters and multiple recombination mirrors have been used. Similar to the present invention, this method aims to widen the pulse width by delaying the divided pulses using the optical path length and recombining them. However, in order to delay the pulse in air, conventional methods either use a very long optical path length or split the pulse multiple times and recombine it to create a pulse wider than the original pulse width. It is necessary to do so. As a result, the delay is 8! As the structure itself increases in size, the final pulse intensity decreases significantly due to multiple beam combinations.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Specifically, the present invention involves multiple reflection of one of the pulsed laser beams split by a beam splitter in an optical glass having a high refractive index and low light absorption. The purpose of this is to create a pulsed laser beam with a wide pulse width by creating a time difference compared to the other and recombining them. By adjusting the splitting ratio of the beam splitter and using multiple pulse delay mechanisms, it is possible to create a laser pulse with a wider pulse width.
