<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for measuring the component concentration of an object. SOLUTION: There are provided a pumping light source for irradiating an incident light having a single wavelength with a predetermined or larger peak power, a first wavelength-converting part for converting the incident light to a light having at least one discrete wavelength and outputting the light, a first beam-splitting part for splitting the light outputted from the first wavelength-converting part and illuminating the object with one of the split light, a reference light-generating part for converting the other of the light split by the first beam-splitting part to a parallel light, separating the light converted to the parallel light by each wavelength, and outputting the separated result as a reference light, a first collimator part for converting light passing the object to a parallel light and outputting the light, a luminous intensity-measuring part for measuring a luminous intensity for each wavelength of the light outputted from the first collimator part and the reference light with the use of the reference light, and a concentration-measuring part for measuring the component concentration from the luminous intensity for each wavelength measured by the luminous intensity- measuring part.</p> |
