PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the backward reflection of exciting light by providing a stimulation light source which gives stimulation light to an optical fiber and guides the light to a first light shutter. SOLUTION: An optical light source is constituted in such a way that the light outputted from a first light shutter 18 is inputted to a wavelength multiplexer 26 and a gain fiber 34 is connected to the multiplexer 26 so that the wide-band light which is optically stimulated by stimulation light and outputted may be propagated to the multiplexer. In addition, an output optical fiber 29 is also connected to the multiplexer 26 so that part of the wide-band light sent from the gain fiber 34 may be guided to a second light shutter 50 and inputted to a fiber optic rotation sensor. |
