Abstract
【解決手段】レーザー光を入射する手段と、前記レーザー光が入射する回折格子33とプリズム35とを所定の配置となるように一体的に固定する治具36と、前記回折格子33とプリズム35とを一体的に回転可能な回転軸34とを備え、この回折格子33とプリズム35の回転軸34での回転により、入射光の波長を可変にするとともに、この波長の変化によっても出力光39の光軸は不変であるようにした。
【選択図】図1
Description
sinφ=sinθ/n …(1)
で表される。プリズムa面で屈折した後の光はα=90°+θ+φの方向へ向かい、角度45°+φでプリズムb面に入射して全反射され、α=180°+θ−φの方向へ進む。この光はプリズムc面に角度φで入射して屈折する。このとき屈折角χは
sinχ=nsinφ …(2)
によって与えられる。上記式(1)と上記式(2)の比較からχ=θとなる。そのため、プリズムc面において屈折した後の光、すなわち図1に示したECDLシステムの出力光は、回転角θに依らず常にα=180°の方向に出射される。
