    Abstract: An electrically-operable laser device for emitting light at least at a wavelength includes a substrate; at least a first in-plane resonator; a first electrode; a lasing gain medium; and a second electrode. Each resonator includes at least two solid materials having an electrical conductivity below 3 S/m, wherein two or more of the solid materials differ in their refractive indices. The top surface of the first in-plane resonator is planar and has a root mean square roughness below 5 nm. The first resonator is either a) situated above the substrate, or b) comprises a material of the substrate as a first of the at least two solid materials. Any further in-plane resonators, if present, are situated above the substrate.

    Abstract: A laser resonator assembly and a method of assembly of the laser resonator assembly are described. The laser resonator assembly has a gain element and an output coupler that are placed in a gain element frame and output coupler frame, respectively. The output coupler may also be a saturable absorber element so that the laser resonator assembly emits Q-switched pulses. The frames provide heat dissipation and can be easily aligned and permanently affixed in an appropriate alignment. A laser using the laser resonator assembly can be assembled in a low-cost manner.

    Abstract: An optical resonator, a constituent part of the optical resonator, and a laser device that enable a reduction in size even if a wavelength band limiting element is disposed in the optical resonator, are provided.
    An optical resonator including: a laser medium that is disposed between a pair of reflection members, and emits emitted light that has been excited by excitation light that has been predetermined; and a wavelength band limiting element that is disposed on a side of emission of the emitted light between the pair of reflection members, includes two reflection flat faces that are orthogonal to an optical axis of the laser medium, and limits a wavelength band of the emitted light, in which the wavelength band limiting element is disposed in a position that prevents a resonance component outside an intended wavelength range of the wavelength band limiting element from being generated between a reflection member on a laser beam emission side from among the pair of reflection members and the wavelength band limiting element.
