Video projector using coherent light source
First Claim
1. A video projector for projecting video, said video projector comprising:
- a projector housing;
a fiber laser which comprises a pump LD part for emitting a laser beam, and a fiber part, comprising rare-earth doped fiber, for amplifying the emitted laser beam from said pump LD part; and
an SHG element for converting the wavelength of the emitted light from said fiber laser and outputting a projection light, wherein,said fiber part is disposed along the inner wall of said projector housing and winds for more than one circulation along said interior wall of said projector housing.

Abstract
In the video projector of the present invention, a fiber part of a fiber laser is disposed so as to draw a circulating orbit of more than one circulation along the inner wall of the projector housing. Further, an FBG which is part of the fiber laser is fixed so that its shape is not changed. Furthermore, a pump LD part of the fiber laser is disposed apart from the SHG element. As a result, the video projector can be miniaturized, and the portability and installment of the video projector are facilitated. Further, the output stabilization of the fiber laser can be realized by preventing a 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.
