Abstract: To provide a light source apparatus for light measurement in which time wavelength uniqueness is not lost even in a case of high output, and to enable spectroscopic measurement with high accuracy and at high speed. Broadband pulsed light having a continuous spectrum over a wavelength width of at least 50 nm in a range of 900 to 1300 nm is emitted from a pulsed light source, and divided for each wavelength by a divider, and light having each wavelength is transmitted by each of stretch fibers and emitted from a coupler. The stretch fibers have different lengths such that an elapsed time and the wavelength in one pulse correspond to each other on a one-to-one basis at an emission end.

Abstract: Super continuum light having a continuous spectrum over at least 1100 to 1300 nm is emitted from a pulsed light source, is pulse-stretched by a stretching element such that a relationship between a wavelength and an elapsed time in one pulse is one to one, and is radiated to a product. The light transmitted through the product is received by a light receiver, and output data is input to the determination unit. A quality determination program of the determination unit calculates an absorption spectrum from the output data, quantifies the absorption spectrum by chemometrics, and compares the absorption spectrum with a reference value to determine quality. The product determined to be a defective product is excluded by an exclusion mechanism.

An output of the light receiver is digitized by an AD converter, values at times regarded as having the same wavelength in beams of the pulsed light are integrated by an FPGA as an integration unit, and then the integrated value is input to a calculator, an absorption spectrum is calculated by a measurement program, and a quality determination program quantifies a specific component to determine quality of a product.

Abstract: Provided is a high-speed and high-accuracy tablet spectroscopic measurement technology that enables total inspection. A pulsed light irradiation system irradiates a tablet being linearly moved by a movement mechanism with pulsed light in which an elapsed time in each pulse and a wavelength correspond to each other on a one-to-one basis, the output from a light receiver that has received transmission light from the tablet is input to a calculation means via an AD converter and an FPGA as an integration means, and a spectral transmission spectrum is calculated. In a case where the variation in spectral characteristic is measured, grouping is performed for multiple times of pulsed light irradiation performed on different locations, integration is separately performed, spectral transmission spectra are calculated and then compared.

Abstract: [Object] An optimal structure for spectroscopically analyzing a solid-phase or liquid-phase sample in a wavelength range of 1100 to 1200 nm by using supercontinuum light is provided.
