Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical coupling structure for interfacing between an optical device arranged on a substrate with an optical waveguide formed on the substrate. SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing an optical coupling element includes steps for: preparing a wafer 130 formed on an inorganic solid material on a dicing tape 140; cutting the back surface of the wafer 130 to form substantially angled portions using a dicing blade 142 having a point angle; and stripping the dicing tape 140 from the wafer 130 and separating the wafer at the valleys between the substantially angled portions to obtain a three-dimensional polyhedral light-reflecting member 114, which includes a mirror surface corresponding to a surface M of the wafer 130, as an optical coupling element. The obtained optical coupling element 114 is inserted into a trench, which opens in the substrate main surface of an optical transmission substrate 100 while crossing the optical waveguide 106a of the optical transmission substrate 100 substantially perpendicularly, to provide an optical coupling structure with the outside.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical element and a color display device by which the performance of luminance and a viewing angle are improved and the performance of chromaticity also can be improved by performing the correction of the viewing angle and the emphasis of front luminance or the emphasis of a degree of diffusion. SOLUTION: The optical element which is a film-like optical element for correcting the angle of light to a prescribed direction is constituted of two materials 20, 21 between which a difference of refractive indexes is at least 0.1. One material 20 constitutes a plurality of light guides causing total reflection on a boundary with the other adjacent material 21, these light guides 22 are formed so as not to be arrayed at equal intervals or so as to have respectively different cross-sectional areas and the ratio of the width or diameter of an incident part of each light guide to the film thickness of the optical element 15 is at least 1:10.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a uniformly distributed discrete pattern.SOLUTION: An information processing device 100, for calculating a spatial arrangement of plural elements of a discrete pattern formed by the elements spatially discretely arranged, calculates, for each element, a density at initial positions respectively given to the individual elements on the basis of density distribution of the elements within a region where the elements of the discrete pattern are arranged, to set a diagram having a size in accordance with the density and representing a region in which the individual elements reject others and the moving range of the diagram at the initial positions of the individual elements, and minimizes a target function to give a penalty to a mutual collision of diagrams and protrusion of a diagram from the moving range, using the respective positions of the individual diagrams as decision variables to calculate the optimum solution of the respective positions of the individual diagrams and output the resultant optimum solution of the respective positions of the individual diagrams as the spatial positions of the elements.

Abstract:
Zum optimalen Entwerfen des Layouts einer Vielzahl von Lichtwellenleitern in einem Fall, wo aufgrund einer planaren Konfiguration von Lichtwellenleitern eine oder mehrere Kreuzungen auftreten. Eine Vielzahl von Vorgabewegen wird für alle aus einer Vielzahl von Lichtwellenleitern so eingestellt, dass jeder einzelne aus einer Vielzahl von an einem Eingangsende gebündelten Lichtwellenleitern in zwei oder mehrere Lichtwellenleiter geteilt wird, ein geteilter Lichtwellenleiter zusammen mit einem anderen geteilten Lichtwellenleiter eine oder mehrere Kreuzungen bildet und eine Vielzahl von geteilten Lichtwellenleitern an mindestens zwei separaten Stellen an einem Ausgangsende gebündelt werden. Die Anzahl der an jedem einzelnen der Wege vorhandenen Kreuzungen wird gezählt. Der Vorgabewert (das Teilungsverhältnis) des Querschnitts (Dicke und Form) eines Lichtwellenleiters und jedes einzelnen aus einer Vielzahl von von dem einen Lichtwellenleiter abgespalteten Lichtwellenleitern wird auf Grundlage der gezählten Anzahl von Kreuzungen eingestellt.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for optimally designing a layout for a plurality of optical waveguides in which the optical waveguides are configured in a planar configuration that creates one or more intersections. Each of a plurality of waveguides bundled at the input end are branched into two, and a plurality of default routes are set for all of the plurality of the waveguides, such that a given branched waveguide forms at least one intersection with other branched waveguides, and such that the branched plurality of waveguides can be bundled at least at two or more separate places on the output end. The intersections that exist in a route are counted, and a default value (branching ratio) for a cross-section (thickness, shape) is set for a given waveguide and each of a plurality of waveguides branched from the waveguide, on the basis of the number of intersections that were counted.
