Abstract
An apparatus for generating plural pulse light beams includes a polarization maintaining fiber operating as a plural pulse light generating device. When a short pulse light beam is launched into the polarization maintaining fiber from a fiber laser source, two polarized components of the light beam are generated in the polarization maintaining fiber and perpendicularly intersect each other. Then, the resulting induced Raman Effect and Soliton Effect relative to each polarized component of the light causes a soliton pulse having a wavelength longer than the corresponding component.
