Abstract:
An ultrashort light pulse oscillated from an ultrashort pulse oscillator enters a waveguide ( 2 ) via a polarization control element ( 3 ). After conversion into a supercontinuum by a nonlinear optical effect, it is compressed by a prism pair compressor ( 71 ) as pulse compressor ( 7 ), and then emitted. The waveguide ( 2 ), which is a nonlinear fiber with normal dispersion in the wavelength range from 850 to 1550, generates the supercontinuum having a spectrum continuous in a wavelength band width of at least 200 nm included in the wavelength range from 850 to 1550 nm. The supercontinuum, which has a peak power within 1 to 100 kW, can be used as excitation light in a multiphoton excitation fluorescence microscope for fluorescence observation of biological samples.

Claim (Index 1):
A supercontinuum source to generate and emit a supercontinuum, comprising:\n a pulse oscillator oscillating an ultrashort light pulse, and a waveguide converting the oscillated ultrashort light pulse from the pulse oscillator into a supercontinuum by a nonlinear optical effect, and then emitting, wherein the waveguide converts the ultrashort light pulse into the supercontinuum having a spectrum continuous in a wavelength band width of at least 200 nm included in the wavelength range from 850 to 1550 nm, and the pulse oscillator and the waveguide emit the supercontinuum with a peak power within 1 to 100 kW to enable multiphoton excitation of an object on an irradiated plane.
