An allowable temperature range satisfying phase matching conditions of a
wavelength conversion device is widened. A wavelength conversion light
source includes a semiconductor laser diode device (1) applied with an
antireflection film (3), a lens (4) arranged opposite to the
semiconductor laser diode device (1), an optical fiber (5) having a Bragg
grating (6) arranged in a core thereof, and a wavelength conversion
device (8) formed of a nonlinear optical crystal on which light from the
semiconductor laser diode device (1) is incident. In the wavelength
conversion light source, the semiconductor laser diode device (1)
oscillates in coherent collapse mode.
