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.

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).

The invention provides an optical microscope that prevents an increase in the complexity of the light source system and is equipped with optics readily capable of adequate operation even when the modulation frequency is increased in order to reduce the impact of the intensity noise of the laser, etc. This optical microscope 100 irradiates a sample 6 with a first train of optical pulses having a first optical frequency, which is generated by a first light source, and a second train of optical pulses having a second optical frequency, which is temporally synchronized with the first train of optical pulses and is generated by a second light source, and detects light scattered from the sample 6. The repetition frequency of the train of optical pulses generated by the first light source is an integral sub-multiple of the repetition frequency of the train of optical pulses generated by the second light source.

The mass spectrometer according to the present invention includes a light source for emitting pulse light including a plurality of wavelengths; an ionizer for ionizing molecules of a sample by irradiating the light from the light source to the sample; and a mass analyzer for separating ions ionized in the ionizer according to their mass to charge ratios. For the light source, one including a plurality of ultrashort pulse laser sources each emitting a wavelength different from others, and one emitting ultrashort pulse light including plural wavelengths ranging from the visible region to the infrared region generated by dispersing an ultrashort pulse light with continuous (white) spectrum can be used. Pulse lights having plural wavelengths ranging from near infrared to the ultraviolet region respectively share the role; i.e., one of them vaporizes the sample without fragmenting it, and another ionizes the vaporized sample with the single-photon process or two-photon (or multi-photon) process. This enables ionization of protein complexes as a whole contained in the sample, and enables mass analyses of them.
