Abstract

A single-longitudinal-mode laser comprises a laser medium, an etalon, and a resonator. The etalon is located in the resonator in a state such that two light passage end faces of the etalon, which are parallel to each other, may make a predetermined angle with respect to a resonator axis. The longitudinal mode of the etalon coincides with a gain peak wavelength of the laser medium. The single-longitudinal-mode laser is free from the problems in that the threshold value of the pumping power for the oscillation of the laser becomes large, in that the output power of the laser becomes low, in that the profile of the radiated beam becomes distorted, and in that the single longitudinal mode characteristics become bad.
