Abstract
A passive Q-switch laser has an excitation sourcefor outputting excitation light; a laser mediumbetween a pair of reflective mirrorsthat constitute part of an optical resonator, the laser medium emitting laser light upon being excited by the excitation light from the excitation source: a saturable absorberdisposed between the pair of reflective mirrors, the saturable absorber being configured such that the transmittance thereof increases as the laser light beam the laser medium is absorbed, a matrix tablein which the excitation-source output and the optimal value of the pulse width are stored in association with the repetition frequency; and a control unitfor referring to the matrix table, reading out the excitation-source output and the optimal value of the pulse width that correspond to an inputted repetition frequency, and controlling the excitation source such that the read-out excitation-source output and optimal value of the pulse width are attained.
