Abstract

Light source 1 emits light composed of various wavelength components from an emission end 1a. An optical fiber 2 receives the light from one end portion 2a and emits the light from the other end portion 2b. A Czerny-Turner dispersion spectroscope is formed by this end portion 2b, concave mirrors 3 and 5, a diffraction grating 4, and an emission slit 6. A mask 9 restricts the aperture diameter, so as to remove light which has spread wider than the aperture diameter of the mask 9 from the light which has passed through the emission slit 6.
