Abstract

A device for and a method of pulsing and amplifying a singlemode laser light for use in a pulse oscillation laser is disclosed. The device comprises a singlemode laser for generating the laser light of the singlemode, an optical resonator into which the outputted laser light is introduced from the singlemode laser, and a controller for controlling the length of resonator by changing the length of the optical resonator based on a control waveform signal, which is an asymmetrical triangular repeated waveform signal. The laser pulse light of the singlemode to which optical strength is amplified from the optical resonator, is outputted by changing the length of resonator.
