Abstract
The present invention relates to a laser light-source apparatus and a method of producing a laser beam, and particularly to a laser light-source apparatus capable of generating intermittent pulse light having a predetermined flickering time and emphasizing the brightness of its peak by a Bartley effect. A timing circuit forms a timing signal so as to allow an excitation type laser light source to produce the intermittent pulse light having the predetermined flickering time. A pumping laser pumps the excitation type laser light source based on the signal outputted from the timing circuit. The intermittent pulse light is flickering slower than a flicker value of a normal person in cycle. The time required to put out the intermittent pulse light is set to a time or so required to restore the sensitivity of each of human eyes to the maximum sensitivity after the human eyes have felt brightness since light has been launched into the human eyes.
