    Abstract: A dispersion measurement apparatus includes a pulse forming unit, a correlation optical system, a beam splitter, an operation unit, an imaging unit, a spatial filter unit, and a photodetector. The pulse forming unit forms a light pulse train including light pulses having time differences and different center wavelengths. The beam splitter branches the light pulse train passed through a measurement object. The imaging unit disperses one light pulse train and images each light pulse. 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: An optical property measurement apparatus includes a pulse formation unit, a waveform measurement unit, and an optical system. The pulse formation unit is capable of changing a temporal waveform of pulsed light in accordance with a type of optical property to be measured. The waveform measurement unit measures a temporal waveform of the pulsed light output from a measurement object after being incident on the measurement object. The optical system has an attenuation unit with an attenuation rate with respect to one wavelength component constituting the pulsed light larger than an attenuation rate with respect to another wavelength component constituting the pulsed light. The optical system is capable of switching between a first state in which the attenuation unit is arranged on an optical path of the pulsed light output from the measurement object and a second state in which the attenuation unit is not arranged on the optical path.

    Abstract: A dispersion measurement apparatus includes a pulse forming unit, an imaging unit, and an operation unit. The pulse forming unit forms a light pulse train including a plurality of light pulses having time differences and center wavelengths different from each other from a light pulse output from a pulsed laser light source. The imaging unit includes an image sensor capable of performing imaging at an imaging interval shorter than a minimum peak interval of the light pulse train, and images a light pulse train passed through a measurement object to generate imaging data. The operation unit receives the imaging data, detects a temporal waveform of the light pulse train for each pixel of the image sensor, and estimates a wavelength dispersion amount of the measurement object for each pixel of the image sensor based on a feature value of the temporal waveform.

    Abstract: A time response measurement apparatus includes a pulse formation unit, an attenuation unit, a waveform measurement unit, and an analysis unit. The pulse formation unit generates first pulsed light including a wavelength of pump light, second pulsed light including a wavelength of probe light, and third pulsed light including the wavelength of the pump light and the wavelength of the probe light, on a common optical axis. The attenuation unit transmits the first pulsed light, the second pulsed light, and the third pulsed light output from a sample arranged on the optical axis after being incident on the sample. An attenuation rate for the pump light is larger than an attenuation rate for the probe light. The analysis unit obtains a time response of the sample based on temporal waveforms of the first pulsed light, the second pulsed light, and the third pulsed light having passed through the attenuation unit.
