A fluorescence analysis optical multiplexer/demultiplexer, a fluorescence
analysis optical module, a fluorescence analyzer, a
fluorescence/photothermal conversion spectroscopic analyzer, and a
fluorescence analysis chip, according to which LIF analysis can be
carried out easily and with high sensitivity, and moreover photothermal
conversion spectroscopic analysis can be carried out easily and
simultaneously with the LIF analysis. A microchemical system 100 as the
fluorescence analyzer is comprised of a fluorescence analysis optical
module 100a, a probe 50 that condenses exciting light onto a sample
solution in a channel 204 inside a fluorescence analysis chip 20, and a
sample stage 21 on which the fluorescence analysis chip 20 is mounted.
The fluorescence analysis optical module 100a is comprised of an exciting
light source 53 that outputs exciting light of dominant wavelength
.lamda..sub.1, a fluorescence analysis optical multiplexer/demultiplexer
56 for use in the fluorescence analyzer which analyzes fluorescence of
dominant wavelength .lamda..sub.2 (.lamda..sub.2>.lamda..sub.1)
emitted from the sample upon the sample being irradiated with the
exciting light via the probe 50, a detector 54 that receives the
fluorescence, an optical fiber 106 that connects the fluorescence
analysis optical multiplexer/demultiplexer 56 to the exciting light
source 53, an optical fiber 107 that connects the fluorescence analysis
optical multiplexer/demultiplexer 56 to the probe 50, and an optical
fiber 108 that connects the fluorescence analysis optical
multiplexer/demultiplexer 56 to the detector 54. The channel 204 through
which the sample solution is passed is coated with a reflective metal
film 205.
