Video Projector Using Coherent Light Source
First Claim
1. A video projector for projecting video on a screen, comprising:
- a fiber laser which comprises a pump LD part for emitting a laser beam and a fiber part for amplifying the emitted laser beam from the pump LD part; and
an SHG element for converting the wavelength of the emitted light from the fiber laser and outputting a projection light onto the screen, wherein, said fiber part is arranged so as to draw a circulating orbit of more than one circulation along the inner wall of a projector housing.

Abstract
In the video projector of the present invention, a fiber part (3b) of a fiber laser (3) is disposed so as to draw a circulating orbit of more than one circulation along the inner wall of the projector housing (1). Further, an FBG (14) which constitutes the fiber laser (3) is fixed so that its shape is not changed. Furthermore, a pump LD part (3a) of the fiber laser (3) is disposed apart from the SHG element (5). As a result, the video projector can be miniaturized, and thereby the portability and installment of the video projector are facilitated. Further, the output stabilization of the fiber laser can be realized by preventing the shape change of the FBG. Furthermore, by disposing the SHG element apart from the pump LD part which forms a heat source, the temperature change of the SHG element is suppressed and the wavelength conversion efficiency by the SHG element is enhanced.
