The characteristics of the optical fiber polarizer have been analyzed theoretically by using the Fresnel equations and compared with the results computed by the Yeh's electromagnetic theory. we found that they agreed reasonably well each other for the optical fiber polarizer of our interest.

Intracavity frequency doubling of a single-mode Nd:YAG laser by using a nonplanar ring cavity is demonstrated. The nonplanar ring cavity consists of a Brewster-angled Nd:YAG crystal placed in a magnetic field, a KTP crystal, and two spherical mirrors. In this design the Nd:YAG block acts as both a nonreciprocal polarization rotator and a partial polarizer, and the nonplanar portion of the ring cavity, which is formed by a relative twist angle between the Brewster-angled end surfaces of the Nd:YAG block, serves as a reciprocal polarization rotator. An eigenpolarization theory for the cavity configuration is presented and suitable values of the relative twist angle for unidirectional operation are estimated. A single-mode output power of 22 ㎽ at 532 nm and an optical to optical conversion efficiency of 1.8% are obtained with a 1.2 W diode laser at 809 nm.

저출력 다이오드 여기 레이저에서는 공간모드 특성을 좋게하고 여기 효율을 올리기 위하여 단면 여기 방식을 주로 사용한다. 특히 레이저 다이오드 (LD)로 여기하는 단일모드 녹색광 레이저는 홀로그램, 간섭계, 측정기 등의 응용분야에서 수요가 날로 증가하고 있다. 단일모드 녹색광 레이저의 발진방법으로는 여러 가지가 고안되어 왔다. 먼저 공진기 내부에 얇은 판을 브루스터 (Brewster) 각으로 두어서 편광시키고 이것을 복굴절특성을 가진 Nd：YVO$_4$ 결정과 결합시켜 복굴절 필터 기능을 하게 하는 방법이 있다. (중략)
