Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides a laser light emitting device, which comprises a laser light emitter for emitting a pump light, a resonator for emitting a laser beam by oscillating and amplifying the pump light and a multi-mode fiber for guiding the pump light emitted from the laser light emitter to the resonator, wherein a mode scrambler is provided on the multi-mode fiber, the pump light propagating the multi-mode fiber is stirred and a light intensity distribution is unified by the mode scrambler, and the pump light is entered to the resonator.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A laser light emitting device, comprising a laser light emitter for emitting a pump light, an optical cavity for emitting a laser beam by oscillating and amplifying the pump light and a multi-mode fiber for guiding the pump light emitted from said laser light emitter to said optical cavity, wherein a mode scrambler is provided on said multi-mode fiber, the pump light propagating said multi-mode fiber is stirred and a light intensity distribution is unified by said mode scrambler, and the pump light is entered to said optical cavity. 2. A laser light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein said mode scrambler is provided at an emitting end of said multi-mode fiber. 3. A laser surveying instrument which projects a laser beam to an object to be measured and performs distance measurement by receiving a reflection light from said object to be measured, comprising said laser light emitting device according to claim 1 as a light emitting source of said laser beam.
