<p>A double-wavelength light source unit capable of stable signal detection, is realized. <??>The double-wavelength light source unit comprises a double-wavelength light source, a photodetector and a double-wavelength diffraction element, wherein the double-wavelength diffraction element comprises a diffraction grating which transmits a light beam of lambda 1 and diffracts a light beam of lambda 2 among the light beams of wavelengths lambda 1 and lambda 2 ( lambda 1 NOTEQUAL lambda 2) emitted from two laser diodes as the double-wavelength light source, a diffraction grating which diffracts a light beam of lambda 1 and transmits a light beam of lambda 2, a diffraction grating constituted by a grating material forming a grating and a filler which transmits a light beam of lambda 1 since the refractive indices of both of these materials are equal at lambda 1 and diffracts a light beam of lambda 2 since the refractive indices are different at lambda 2, and a diffraction grating which transmits a light beam of lambda 1 having a first polarization plane and diffracts a light beam of lambda 1 having a polarization plane perpendicular to the first polarization plane. <IMAGE></p> |
