Provided is a conductive carbon mixture which is to be used together with an electrode active material in manufacturing an electrode of an electricity storage device and enables the manufacture of the electricity storage device having a good cycle life. The conductive carbon mixture for manufacturing an electrode of an electricity storage device comprises an oxidized carbon having electrical conductivity and a different conductive carbon which is different from the oxidized carbon, wherein the oxidized carbon covers the surface of the different conductive carbon. The conductive carbon mixture is characterized in that the ratio of the peak intensity of the 2D band to the peak intensity of the D band in a Raman spectrum of the conductive carbon mixture is 55% or less relative to the ratio of the peak intensity of the 2D band to the peak intensity of the D band in a Raman spectrum of the different conductive carbon. This conductive carbon mixture covers the surface of the electrode active material in a particularly good manner and thus prolongs the cycle life of the electricity storage device.

Provided is an electrode which gives an electric storage device that has high energy density and good cycle life. This electrode for an electric storage device is characterized by having an active material layer that contains: an electrode active material particle; and a paste-like conductive carbon that is derived from an oxidized carbon obtained by giving an oxidizing treatment to a carbon raw material with an inner vacancy and covers a surface of the electrode active material particle. The paste-like conductive carbon derived from the oxidized carbon is densely filled not only into a gap that is formed between the electrode active material particles adjacent to each other but also into a pore that exists on the surface of the active material particle, so that the electrode density is increased, thereby improving the energy density of the electric storage device. In addition, since the paste-like conductive carbon suppresses dissolution of the active material, the cycle characteristics of the electric storage device are improved.

A laser light source apparatus includes: a laser light source that emits a laser beam; a condenser lens that converges the laser beam emitted from the laser light source; and a light guide unit that propagates and outputs the laser beam converged by the condenser lens, and the laser beam converged by the condenser lens is made incident at an angle other than perpendicular to an incident end face of the light guide unit.

Laser light source apparatus and image display apparatus therewith

In a laser device, a control range of focal distance of a generated thermal lens is broadened and reliability is improved. A mode control waveguide-type laser device includes: a planar laser medium having a waveguide structure in a thickness direction of a cross section perpendicular to an optical axis, for generating gain with respect to laser light; a cladding bonded onto the laser medium; and a heat sink bonded onto the laser medium. The laser medium generates a lens effect, and the laser light oscillates in a waveguide mode in the thickness direction, and oscillates in a spatial mode due to the lens effect in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis and the thickness direction. The refractive index distribution within the laser medium is created by generating a temperature distribution in the laser medium depending on a junction area of the cladding and the heat sink.
