ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wavelength-variable semiconductor laser light source in which the oscillation wavelength of the semiconductor laser can be set up at higher resolution under phase-continuous conditions. In the present invention, semiconductor laser 1 outputs outgoing light from the end face with an antireflection film. The output light is split into transmitted light and reflected light by a beam splitter which is fixed on a parallel sliding stage. The transmitted light is incident on a diffraction grating fixed on a moving stage which is provided on the parallel sliding stage. The parallel sliding stage moves in parallel with the optical axis of semiconductor laser. A PSD is provided for inputting the expanded light and outputting an electric signal which is proportional to an amount of the displacement of the expanded light. A wavelength setting part arbitrarily sets the oscillation wavelength of the semiconductor laser, and a comparator compares a set signal From the wavelength setting part with the electric signal from the PSD and feeds the result back to the parallel sliding driver which drives the parallel sliding stage.
