Abstract
A reference light generating mechanism generates reference light, a light frequency component of which varies in a stepped manner at fixed intervals, repeatedly at pre-specified cycles, and generates a timing signal in accordance with this variance. A detecting mechanism detects a frequency difference between a reference light frequency freely selected from among the light frequency component and a feedback light frequency of feedback light fed back so as to conform to the reference light frequency, and synchronizes this with a timing signal, and an output light generating mechanism generates output light, the light frequency of which is controlled in accordance with the frequency difference, and conducts the feedback of this output light to the detecting mechanism as feedback light.
