Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a new technology that suppresses reduction in output of light from a light source due to temperature change. A light source 10 comprises: a seed laser 12 which emits a seed beam having a peak wavelength falling within the near-infrared wavelength range; an optical fiber 14 which is doped with a rare-earth element and which allows the seed beam to transmit therethrough; a first pump laser 16 which emits first excitation light that excites a rare-earth element and has a peak wavelength of λ1 at a junction temperature T; a second pump laser 18 which emits second excitation light that excites a rare-earth element and has a peak wavelength of λ2 (λ2
