Abstract:
A manufacturing method for a solid state laser comprising the steps of executing a mounting of a laser diode on a substrate, the mounting of the laser diode including the step of securing the laser diode at a given position on the substrate; causing light emission from the laser diode, measuring light emitted from the laser diode with a measuring instrument, and positioning the measuring instrument by moving it to a position where a maximum output is obtained or where a reference position on the measuring instrument aligns with the optical axis of light from the laser diode; executing a mounting of a solid state laser oscillator element with a reflecting surface to secure it at a given position on the substrate; and executing a mounting of an output mirror on the substrate, the mounting of the output mirror including the steps of causing light emission from the laser diode to excite the solid state laser oscillator element with a reflecting surface, measuring a laser beam delivered from the output mirror with the measuring instrument, and on the basis of a result of such measurement, moving the output mirror to a position where a maximum output is obtained or where the optical axis of the laser beam aligns with a reference position on the measuring instrument and securing the output mirror to the substrate at such position.
