    Abstract: A bias circuit for applying a bias voltage to an avalanche photodiode APD2 for detecting light comprises a first diode APD1, a power supply VH connected to the first diode APD1, for applying a voltage to make the diode in breakdown between an anode and a cathode of the first diode APD1, and a constant voltage circuit V2 connected to the avalanche photodiode APD2 for detecting light, for applying a voltage difference of a breakdown voltage generated between the anode and the cathode of the first diode APD1 minus a constant voltage to the avalanche photodiode. The constant voltage is substantially independent from current flowing in the avalanche photodiode APD2 for detecting light to the avalanche photodiode.

    Abstract: A driving system region which is a region where a light projector, a light receiver, and a signal processing circuit are installed together is disposed on one side of an optical system region comprising a light-projecting region and a light-receiving region, so that wires such as their mutual signal lines are kept from passing through the optical system region, whereby an omnidirectional distance detecting apparatus capable of complete 360-degree omnidirectional distance detection can be obtained. The influence of electric noise caused by the driving system of rotary mechanism and the like upon light-receiving signals and the like is suppressed, whereby the accuracy in distance detection can be improved.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide a light-emitting device in which stable control for a constant light output can be performed. CONSTITUTION:Since a wavelength selecting filter 80 is provided in the front face of the light-receiving surface of a light-receiving element 50, only emitted light from the light-emitting element selectively passes through the wavelength selecting filter 80 to be incident upon the light-receiving element 50. When the disturbance light of wavelength different from the wavelength of the emitted light enters a package 60, the disturbance light is cut off by the wavelength selecting filter 80, and therefore it is not incident upon the light-receiving element 50. Accordingly, since almost all of of the disturbance light which enters the package 60 are not incident upon the light-receiving element 50, almost normal control for a constant light output can be performed even when the disturbance light enters the package 60.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light wave range finder, having stable range detection precision over a wide range of measurement ranges. SOLUTION: This light wave range finder has a coaxial optical system, comprising a projection optical system and a light-receiving optical system, wherein a light projector 10, a light receiver 20 and a light-receiving lens 21 are disposed coaxially. The light-receiving lens 21 is formed such that each lens portion of the light-receiving lens 21 varies from the lens portion for close range detection (i.e., a lens portion for condensing reflected light from a detection point at a small measurement range onto the light receiver 20) to the lens portion for far range detection (i.e., a lens portion for condensing reflected light from a detection point at a large measurement range onto the light receiver 20), going from the detection optical axis toward the outside. Thereby toward the change of a received light amount condensed onto and detected by the light receiver 20 of the reflected light according to the measurement range can be suppressed. As a result, the light wave range finder having stable range detection accuracy over a large scope of measurement ranges is realized.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide an infrared detector which detects infrared rays stably and accurately with a simple structure. CONSTITUTION: An input light synchronizing section 100 generates pulse-like infrared rays cyclically to be outputted to a pyroelectric element 210. The pyroelectric element 210 captures changes in surface electric charge due to a rise or drop in temperature corresponding to the amount of incident infrared rays according to incidence or non-incidence of the infrared rays generated by the input light synchronizing section 100 by means of a pyroelectric effect. An output signal of the pyroelectric element 210 reflecting such changes in the surface electric charge is inputted into a synchronous detection part 300. On the other hand, after initial change of dependence on temperature of the output signal of the pyroelectric element 210, the input light synchronizing section makes sample indicative signals X and Y significant and directs the synchronous detection part 300 to perform a sampling. The synchronous detection part 300 executes a synchronous amplification according to the sampling indicative signals and a synchronous amplification signal S2 is smoothed by a smoothing circuit 400.
