A spectroscope includes an optical fiber 218, a collimator optical system
231 for collimating signal light come out from the optical fiber 218, a
spectroscopic element 233 for dispersing the signal light collimated by
the collimator optical system 231, a detector 237 composed of a plurality
of detector elements 237a disposed at least in a direction of dispersion
and detecting the light dispersed by the spectroscopic element 233, and a
focusing optical system 236 for focusing the signal light come out from
the detector 237 onto a detecting surface of the detector 237. It is set
such that the focusing optical system 236 makes a diameter of a spot of
the signal light focused on the detecting surface of the detector 237
smaller than an arranged pitch of the detector 237 and a numerical
aperture of the collimator optical system 231 is larger than that of the
optical fiber 218.
