Title:
OPTICAL DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/181539
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention solves the problem of a complicated configuration which results when a movement member for moving optical components is required in an optical device with which spectral noise is reduced by moving the optical components. This optical device is equipped with a diffraction part (42) that diffracts and then emits linearly polarized laser light (L00), and a direction changing part (46) that changes the direction of at least a portion of the +1 order light (L11) and at least a portion of the -1 order light (L12) emitted from the diffraction part, so as to be in a parallel direction, and then emits this light. Furthermore, the optical device is equipped with: an incident-side modulation part that changes the polarization direction of the linearly polarized laser light to multiple directions; a first birefringence part that divides the light (modulated by the incident-side modulation part) in a first direction, thereby emitting first light and second light; an emission-side modulation part that changes the polarization direction of the first light and the second light, emitted from the first birefringence part, to multiple directions; and a second birefringence part that divides the light (modulated by the emission-side modulation part) in a second direction different from the first direction, and emits this light as advancing parallel light.
