A light source apparatus with modulation function has a wavelength
conversion module (75) composed of a nonlinear optical material with a
structure having a nonlinear constant modulated periodically. It outputs
a difference frequency or sum frequency produced by multiplexing pumping
light from semiconductor laser light sources (71) and (72) with different
wavelengths through a WDM coupler (74) and by launching the multiplexed
light into the optical waveguide. The semiconductor laser light source
(72) includes a diffraction grating. The semiconductor laser light source
(71) includes a section for modulating output light emitted from its
semiconductor laser, and is connected to an external FBG (73) which has a
reflection band narrower than a resonance wavelength spacing determined
by the device length of the semiconductor laser. The FBG (73) is supplied
with the modulated output.
