Abstract:
A device and method for optical isolation for use in optical systems is disclosed. The device provides for a waveguide optical isolator fabricated using two arms, made of optical waveguides comprising magneto-optical material, in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration. The device of the present invention operates using the TM mode of a light wave and, thus, does not require phase-matching of TM and TE modes. Further, the present invention does not use polarizers to extinguish the optical feedback.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a trimmer for a gypsum model for dental treatments such that chips in a working chamber can be sucked by a dust collector. SOLUTION: A diamond wheel 6 with a rotating shaft 5 oriented horizontally is placed within a working chamber 2 having an opening directed to a worker. In order to place a gypsum model for working, two worktables 23, 31 are provided, the worktable 23 being movable vertically and the worktable 31 being movable horizontally in a straight line. The worktable 23 can be adjusted in angle relative to the flat plate surface 6a of the diamond wheel 6. Chips generated during working are sucked by a dust collector from both a discharge hole provided in a position below the diamond wheel 6 and a discharge hole 35 provided in a position therebehind.
