    摘要: Laser beams are synthesized by offsetting in different positions in the direction of the fast axis beam bundles radiated from semiconductor lasers, converging the optical axes of the beam bundles in the fast axis view, and introducing the beam bundles into an optical fiber after converging them in the directions of the fast and slow axes. A convergent angle transforming optical system is disposed further upstream of the upstream-most position in the positions where the optical axes of the beam bundles converged in the fast axis view intersect in the fast axis view. The whole beam bundle formed of the beam bundles converged in the fast axis view is passed through the convergent angle transforming optical system so that the angle of convergence of the whole beam bundle or part of the beam bundles is made smaller in the fast axis view, and introduced into the optical fiber.

    摘要: In a laser module, a laser beam which is emitted from a laser element is focused by a condensing optical system and caused to enter an incidence end of an optical fiber. A laser device is provided with a plurality of these laser modules. Emission end portions of the optical fibers are bundled to form a laser emission portion. A thickness of cladding h of each optical fiber is set to a value calculated in accordance with the following equation: 1 cladding thickness null null null h null ( emission null null null light null null null amount of null null null one null null null laser null null null module null null null W required intensity null null null C null packing ratio null null null P - core diameter null null null t ) null 2 As a result, it is possible to emit a laser-beam with a high intensity that is required for functionality as a laser light source, for the purpose of raising resolution of an exposure apparatus.

    摘要: In a disclosed laser module, a usage amount of organic adhesive is set to no more than 1.0 g/ml. Thus, an equilibrium density of outgas components from the adhesive after an air removal treatment is less than 1000 ppm. In another laser module, a heat sink at which a semiconductor laser element is adhered on a submount, an electrode terminal wire-connected with the laser element, a photodiode wire-connected with the electrode terminal, and a zeolite adsorbent are fixedly provided on a stem. These are ring-welded in a container in a dry air atmosphere (80% nitrogen, 20% oxygen). In still another laser module, sixteen multiplexed lasers are disposed in a container. The container is connected with an air circulation apparatus, which is provided with a filter for removing contaminants, a rotary pump for circulating inert gas, and a valve for controlling replenishment of the gas.

Next, the photoresist is lifted off. A Sio2 film is formed on the entire surface. After a window is formed in a portion of the SiO2 film corresponding to a ridge portion, a p-electrode is formed on a region of the Sio2 film other than the device perimeter.
