Claim 5:
6. A data generating device generating data for controlling a spatial light modulator, the device comprising a processor, the processor configured to:
generate an intensity spectrum function A(ω) and a phase spectrum function Ψ(ω) for an optical pulse train including a plurality of optical pulses aligned with a time interval left therebetween; and
generate data on the basis of the generated intensity spectrum function A(ω) and the generated phase spectrum function Ψ(ω);
set a plurality of object pairs of a first generation relating to the intensity spectrum function A(ω) and the phase spectrum function Ψ(ω);
calculate an evaluation value representing an amount of loss occurring due to intensity spectrum modulation based on a plurality of objects of an n-th generation (here, n is an integer that is equal to or greater than “1”) of the intensity spectrum function A(ω) for each object pair;
select two or more object pairs used for generating a plurality of object pairs of an (n+1)-th generation among a plurality of object pairs of the n-th generation on the basis of superiority of the evaluation value;
generate a plurality of object pairs of the (n+1)-th generation on the basis of the selected two or more object pairs, wherein calculating the evaluation value; selecting two or more object pairs; and generating the plurality of object pairs repeat while adding 1 to n until a predetermined condition is satisfied; and
generate the intensity spectrum function A(ω) and the phase spectrum function Ψ(ω) for generating the optical pulse train from a plurality of object pairs of an n-th generation of a case in which a predetermined condition is satisfied.
