Abstract
By utilizing soliton self-frequency shift modulation, the formation of multiple pulsed light beams is suppressed, while the occurrence of ASE (Autonomous Emission Reduction) is suppressed, and the modulated pulsed light beam is reliably amplified. [Solution] The pulsed light generation device 100 comprises an oscillator 1 that oscillates pulsed light L, a fiber amplifier 2 located downstream of the oscillator 1 in the optical path of the pulsed light L, a soliton shift fiber 5 located downstream of the fiber amplifier 2 in the optical path of the pulsed light L, a branching section 8 located downstream of the fiber amplifier 2 in the optical path of the pulsed light L, and a short-wavelength fiber amplifier 11 located downstream of the soliton shift fiber 5 and the branching section 8 in the optical path of the pulsed light L.
