ABSTRACT:
A wavelength conversion module according to the present invention includes an external resonator, a semiconductor laser module and a wavelength conversion device for converting a wavelength of light output from the semiconductor laser module into a shorter wavelength. This wavelength conversion device includes at least one of a nonlinear crystal for generating SFG (Sum-frequency Generation) light and a nonlinear crystal for generating SHG (Second Harmonic Generation) light. Each of the SFG generating element and the SHG generating element of the wavelength conversion device may have a periodically-poled ridge-waveguide structure or a periodically-poled proton-exchanged-waveguide structure.
