    摘要: The present invention provides a method for narrowing a spectral width that can also be adapted to an ultrashort optical pulse emitted from a wavelength tunable light source, and that can provide an output optical pulse with a narrow spectral width and a low noise component, and an optical element and a light source device that use the method for narrowing a spectral width. The method includes using an optical waveguide member (2) to cause a soliton effect in an input optical pulse (1) within the optical waveguide member (2), thereby narrowing a spectral width of the input optical pulse (1) to provide an output optical pulse (3), the optical waveguide member (2) having dispersion characteristics such that the average of a second-order dispersion value (β2) with respect to the input optical pulse (1) is negative, and the absolute value of the second-order dispersion value (β2) increases in a propagation direction of the input optical pulse (1).

    摘要: The stimulated Raman scattering detection apparatus includes first and second light pulse generators (1, 2) respectively generating first and second light pulses with first and second pulse periods, an optical system combining the first and second light pulses and focusing the combined light pulses onto a sample, and a detector (10) detecting the second light pulses intensity-modulated by stimulated Raman scattering generated by focusing of the combined light pulses onto the sample. The second light pulse generator divides each raw light pulse emitted with the second pulse period into two light pulses, delays one of the two light pulse with respect to the other thereof and combines the one light pulse divided from one raw light pulse and delayed, with the other light pulse divided from another raw light pulse emitted after the one raw light pulse, to generate the second light pulse.
