Abstract:
1. An optical source device comprising: a solid high frequency oscillating unit that outputs a high frequency signal; a waveguide unit that receives the high frequency signal output from the solid high frequency oscillating unit and radiates the received high frequency signal as a microwave; and a light emitting unit that emits light by the microwave radiated from the waveguide unit, wherein the solid high frequency oscillating unit includes a solid high frequency oscillator that generates the high frequency signal, and an amplifier that amplifies the high frequency signal generated by the solid high frequency oscillator, the waveguide unit includes an antenna unit that radiates the high frequency signal amplified by the amplifier as the microwave, and a container that contains a dielectric material, accommodates the antenna unit, and has a space surrounded by reflective surfaces that reflect the microwave radiated from the antenna unit so as to collect the microwave, and the light emitting unit includes a non-electrode light emitting tube that is disposed in a region where the microwave is collected by the container, and has a portion extending to the outside of the container and a light emitting material is sealed therein for emitting light by the microwave, and a reflective unit that reflects a light beam emitted from the non-electrode light emitting tube using the extending portion of the non-electrode light emitting tube as a focal point or an approximate focal point.
