The spatial filter unit extracts light of a partial region of the other light pulse train. The correlation optical system outputs correlation light including a cross-correlation or an autocorrelation of the extracted light. The photodetector detects a temporal waveform of the correlation light. The operation unit estimates a wavelength dispersion amount in the measurement object based on a feature value of the temporal waveform.

Abstract

In a measurement method, light inputs with the same center wavelength and different properties are performed on a light transmission medium, and a measured value of an intensity spectrum of each of light outputs is acquired. An error between the measured value and an estimated value of the intensity spectrum calculated based on a theoretical relation between an intensity spectrum and a phase spectrum of each of the light inputs, a nonlinear coefficient and a wavelength dispersion value of the light transmission medium, and the intensity spectrum of each of the light outputs is calculated while changing the nonlinear coefficient and the wavelength dispersion value. Further, the nonlinear coefficient and the wavelength dispersion value are determined based on a difference, in a relation between the nonlinear coefficient and the wavelength dispersion value and the error, between the light inputs.

Abstract

An electrodeless laser-driven light source includes a laser that generates a CW sustaining light. A pump laser generates pump light. A Q-switched laser crystal receives the pump light generated by the pump laser and generates pulsed laser light at an output in response to the generated pump light. A first optical element projects the pulsed laser light along a first axis to a breakdown region in a gas-filled bulb comprising an ionizing gas. A second optical element projects the CW sustaining light along a second axis to a CW plasma region in the gas-filled bulb comprising the ionizing gas. A detector detects plasma light generated by a CW plasma and generates a detection signal at an output. A controller generates control signals that control the pump light to the Q-switched laser crystal so as to extinguish the pulsed laser light within a time delay after the detection signal exceeds a threshold level.

Abstract

An iterative Fourier transform unit of a modulation pattern calculation apparatus performs a Fourier transform on a waveform function including an intensity spectrum function and a phase spectrum function, performs a replacement of a temporal intensity waveform function based on a desired waveform after the Fourier transform, and then performs an inverse Fourier transform. The iterative Fourier transform unit performs the replacement using a result of multiplying a function representing the desired waveform by a coefficient. The coefficient has a value with which a difference between the function after the multiplication of the coefficient and the temporal intensity waveform function after the Fourier transform is smaller than a difference before the multiplication, and a ratio of the difference is smaller when an intensity is higher at each time of the function before the multiplication.
