US Patent Issued to Ushio Denki on March 25 for "Broadband pulsed light source apparatus and spectroscopic measurement method" (Japanese Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 26 -- United States Patent no. 12,259,317, issued on March 25, was assigned to Ushio Denki K.K. (Tokyo).

"Broadband pulsed light source apparatus and spectroscopic measurement method" was invented by Junki Sahara (Tokyo) and Aya Ota (Tokyo).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A nonlinear element provides a nonlinear effect to light output from a pulsed laser source. Remaining light component having the oscillation wavelength of the pulsed laser source is attenuated when the light is split by a dichroic mirror. The divided light is subjected to pulse stretching by a fiber, and is combined by a multiplexing element. The light thus combined is irradiated to a target object S. Th...
