Embodiment approach 1

[0027] figure 1 It is a perspective view schematically showing an example of the optical module of the present invention. The optical module 50 shown in this figure includes: a base 30A divided into three blocks of a first block 1 , a second block 10 , and a third block 20 ; and a substrate 40 .

[0028] A thin plate-shaped stress buffering member 3 is fixed to the upper surface 1a of the first block 1 with a bonding material (not shown). The heat sink 5 is fixed on the stress buffering member 3 with a bonding material (not shown), and the laser medium 7 is fixed and mounted on the heat sink 5 with a bonding material (not shown). The first block 1 is a plate-shaped member having two side surfaces perpendicular to the optical axis of the laser medium 7, and is made of, for example, a metal material or an alloy material. The stress buffering member 3 relieves thermal stress caused by the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the first block 1 and the heat sink 5 ....

Abstract

The invention discloses a laser module. When forming the laser module which comprises a substrate and a base plate, the substrate is divided into three blocks, wherein the substrate is used for carrying a solid laser element, an excitation laser source and a wave length converting element. The solid laser element is used for emitting fundamental wave lasers through oscillation, the excitation laser source is used for exciting the solid laser element, and the wave length converting element is used for converting the wave length of the fundamental wave lasers emitted by the solid laser element through oscillation. The base plate is used for supporting the substrate. The three blocks comprise the first block carrying a laser medium, the second block carrying the excitation laser source and the third block carrying the wave length converting element. The side face or the bottom face of only the second block is fixed to the base plate, the first block is fixed to the other side face of the second block, and the third block is fixed to the side face of the first block.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application with the application number 200880127788.5, the application date is March 18, 2008, and the invention name is "optical module". technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an optical module that converts fundamental laser light oscillated from a laser element into laser light of a predetermined wavelength by a wavelength conversion element and outputs the laser light. Background technique [0003] In order to obtain an optical module that oscillates a green laser with a wavelength of 530nm, in many cases, an infrared laser with a wavelength of 1060nm is used as the fundamental laser, and a wavelength conversion element is used to convert the wavelength of the fundamental laser. Therefore, an optical module that oscillates green laser light is generally composed of a solid-state laser element that oscillates fundamental-wave laser light, an excitation light source that excites the solid-state laser element, and ...
