ABSTRACT:
An object of this invention is to provide a pulsed laser beam source device which is easy to handle and is operative stably. Pumping light is irradiated to a laser medium from a light source for optical pumping. The stimulated laser medium pumps radiation of a set wavelength. This radiation is stimulated to be amplified while reciprocating between resonator mirrors. A multi layer film is inserted in an optical path of the radiation. Feeble light of the radiation from the laser medium is absorbed by the multi-layer to be weaker, and that part of the radiation having intensities above a set intensity is compressed in terms of time to be emitted outside. The emitted radiation has a very short pulse duration.
