Abstract: An optical pulse generation device includes an optical resonator of mode-locked type, a light source, and a waveform controller. The optical resonator includes an optical amplification medium and generates, amplifies, and outputs laser light. The light source is optically coupled to the optical resonator and supplies excitation light to the optical amplification medium. The waveform controller is arranged in the optical resonator, and controls a time waveform of the laser light within a predetermined period to convert the laser light into an optical pulse train including two or more optical pulses within a period of the optical resonator. The optical resonator amplifies the optical pulse train after the predetermined period and outputs the optical pulse train having amplified as the laser light.

Abstract: In a waveform measurement method, first, initial pulsed light is spatially dispersed for respective wavelengths. Next, the initial pulsed light is input to a polarization dependent type SLM in a state where a polarization plane is inclined with respect to a modulation axis direction, and a phase spectrum of a first polarization component of the initial pulsed light along the modulation axis direction is modulated, to cause a time difference between first pulsed light Lp1 including the first polarization component and second pulsed light Lp2 including a second polarization component orthogonal to the first polarization component. After combining the wavelength components, an object is irradiated with the pulsed light Lp1 and the pulsed light Lp2, and light generated in the object is detected. The above detection operation is performed while changing the time difference, and a temporal waveform of the pulsed light Lp1 is obtained.

Abstract: A pulsed light generation apparatus includes a dispersing unit for dispersing pulsed light for respective wavelengths, a polarization dependent type spatial light modulator for modulating the dispersed pulsed light in respective wavelengths, and a combining unit for combining wavelength components of the pulsed light output from the spatial light modulator. A polarization plane of the pulsed light input to the spatial light modulator is inclined with respect to a polarization direction in which the spatial light modulator has a modulation function. The spatial light modulator causes a time difference between a first polarization component of the pulsed light along the polarization direction and a second polarization component of the pulsed light intersecting with the first polarization component.

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: A Fourier transform is performed on a first waveform function in a frequency domain, and a second waveform function in a time domain including a temporal intensity waveform function and a temporal phase waveform function is generated. A replacement of the temporal intensity waveform function based on a desired waveform is performed for the second waveform function. The second waveform function is modified so as to bring a spectrogram of the second waveform function close to a target spectrogram generated in advance in accordance with a desired wavelength band. An inverse Fourier transform is performed on the modified second waveform function, and a third waveform function in the frequency domain is generated. Data is generated on the basis of an intensity spectrum function or a phase spectrum function of the third waveform function.
