Abstract
The present invention relates to a MOPA light source capable of obtaining pulse output by wavelength-conversion of pulse light of fundamental light wave using a simple configuration, and suppressing optical output using a simple method when processing is not performed. The fundamental light wave outputted from a seed light source is amplified in an optical amplification fiber. The amplified fundamental light wave is inputted to one end of a passive optical fiber, and propagates in the passive optical fiber. In the passive optical fiber, stimulated Raman scattering occurs upon propagation of the fundamental light wave. The light of fundamental light wave and light of stimulated Raman-scattered components are outputted from the other end of the passive optical fiber. The light outputted from the passive optical fiber is collimated by a lens, and is then inputted to a branching filter. The light inputted to the branching filter is wavelength-separated into light of stimulated Raman-scattered components having wavelengths longer than that of the fundamental light wave, and light having wavelengths equal to or less than that of the fundamental light wave.
