Abstract: An optical device includes a nanostructure body which induces surface plasmon resonance when irradiated with light, an alloy layer which is in contact with the nanostructure body and which has a lower work function than the nanostructure body, and an n-type semiconductor which is in Schottky contact with the alloy layer. The nanostructure body is composed of one selected from the group consisting of elemental metals, alloys, metal nitrides, and conductive oxides. The alloy layer is composed of at least two metals.

Abstract: A laser device includes a first optical comb laser, a second optical comb laser having a repetition frequency different from the first optical comb laser, a detection unit that detects interfering light between light output from the first optical comb laser and light output from the second optical comb laser and a control circuit. The control circuit controls at least one of a first CEO frequency, which is a carrier-envelope offset frequency of the first optical comb laser, or a second CEO frequency, which is a carrier-envelope offset frequency of the second optical comb laser, on the basis of output of the detection unit and thus changes a difference frequency, which is a difference between the first CEO frequency and the second CEO frequency.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a fuel production method and a fuel production apparatus which efficiently convert solar light energy into a fuel. The fuel production apparatus of the present disclosure includes a laminate, an electrolytic bath, and a support tool or a proton permeable membrane. The laminate includes a photoelectromotive layer having a p-n junction structure, a cathode electrode, an anode electrode and a side surface insulating layer, and the photoelectromotive layer includes a semiconductor layer that absorbs light in a near-infrared region with a wavelength of 900 nm or more. In the fuel production apparatus, an underwater optical path length is set to an optimum design value, so that even light in a near-infrared region with a wavelength of 900 nm or more is sufficiently utilized to efficiently convert light energy into at least one fuel selected from hydrogen, carbon monoxide, formic acid, methane, ethylene, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, allyl alcohol, acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde through a reduction reaction on the cathode electrode.
