    Abstract: Disclosed is a laser device which can emit light having first and second wavelengths, having the advantage of increasing laser efficiency without causing an increase in cost. A flash lamp irradiates excitation light onto a laser rod. An optical resonator includes a pair of mirrors facing each other with the laser rod interposed therebetween. A wavelength switching unit includes a long path filter which transmits light having a wavelength equal to or greater than a first wavelength. The wavelength switching unit inserts the long path filter on the optical path of the optical resonator when the wavelength of laser light to be emitted is the first wavelength.

    Abstract: A pulse laser beam is emitted in a desired wavelength sequence using a laser light source unit. A Q switch and a birefringent filter are inserted into an optical resonator including a pair of mirrors and facing each other with a laser rod interposed therebetween. The birefringent filter changes an oscillation wavelength of the optical resonator in association with rotational displacement. The rotation control unit rotates the birefringent filter at a predetermined rotation speed depending on the number of wavelengths included in the wavelength sequence of the pulse laser beam to be emitted. An emission control unit irradiates the laser rod with excitation light, and then turns on the Q switch at a timing when a rotational-displacement-position of the birefringent filter is set to a position corresponding to the wavelength of the pulse laser beam to be emitted, to cause the pulse laser beam to be emitted.

    Abstract: A flash lamp 32 excites a laser rod 31. A Q switch 35 which changes the loss of the optical resonator according to the voltage applied is inserted on the optical path of a pair of mirrors 33 and 34 forming the optical resonator. An optical path shutter 39 is provided on the optical path of laser emission light. In a first operation mode in which laser emission is performed, the optical path shutter 39 is opened and the voltage applied to the Q switch 35 is changed from a high voltage to, for example, 0 V to emit pulsed laser light after the flash lamp 32 excites the laser rod 31. In a second operation mode in which the laser emission is interrupted and waited for, the optical path shutter 39 is closed and the voltage applied to the Q switch 35 is, for example, 0 V.

    Abstract: Using a laser source unit, a plurality of wavelengths are switched at a high speed without increasing a rotation speed of a birefringent-filter. A Q switch and a birefringent filter are inserted into an optical resonator including a pair of mirrors facing each other with a laser rod interposed therebetween. The birefringent-filter changes an oscillation wavelength of the optical resonator in association with rotational displacement. Driving unit reciprocatively rotates the birefringent-filter in a predetermined range including a discontinuous point of change characteristics of a transmission wavelength for the rotational displacement. An emission control unit irradiates the laser rod with excitation light from a flash lamp, and then turns on the Q switch at a timing when a rotational displacement position of the birefringent-filter is set to a position corresponding to the wavelength of the pulse laser beam to be emitted, to cause the pulse laser beam to be emitted.

    Abstract: Provided are a structure inspection method and a structure inspection system capable of efficiently inspecting structure and predicting deterioration with high accuracy. The structure inspection method includes: acquiring information on a location having internal damage within an inspection target region; and imaging the inspection target region with a visible light camera a plurality of times while shifting an imaging location, wherein a location except for the location having the internal damage is imaged with first pixel resolution and the location having internal damage is imaged with second pixel resolution higher than the first pixel resolution. Damage appearing on a surface of the structure is detected on the basis of a visible light image captured by the visible light camera. Information on the location having internal damage within the inspection target region is acquired by capturing an image that visualizes an internal state of the inspection target region.
