    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To overcome restriction on the aspect of a capacity which a chirped pulse WDM(wavelength division multiplexing) system holds by further optically multiplexing the chirped pulse wavelength dividing signal. SOLUTION: An optical pulse with a band width exceeding 80 nm is extracted from a mode-locked (fixed) laser 202 with the speed of 36.7 MHz. The spectrum of each pulse is mapper on a time axis by being propagated through a part extending over 16 km of a single mode chirping fiber 204, and the pulse is extended. The chirped pulse is propagated to a modulator 210 through a circulator 207 and a polarization controller 208. After being amplified by a gain- flattened erbium-doped fiber power amplifier(EDFA) 212, this data flow is inputted to an optical multiplexer 214 which is used in an experiment for multiplexing a pseudo-data stream, and the bit rate of the data flow is increased by 64 times and becomes 2.35 Gb/s.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display related information in real time by a method wherein the related information in a THz waveform returned from a medium is extracted using a plurality of algorithms and compressed data thereof are displayed as pixel of an image of a T light beam of the medium. SOLUTION: A THz image processor 10 has a femto-second pulse source 12, an image processor 14 and an analysis circuit 18. The femto-second pulse source 12 is a semiconductor laser which has a wavelength in the vicinity of 800nm and a repetition rate of about 100MHz. A THz transmitter 20 of the image processor 14 generates THz light to be radiated to a medium 16 to be inspected and a THz detector 22 detects a waveform transmitted through the medium 16 or reflected thereon. The THz transmitter 20 and the THz detector 22 are optically opened or closed by a beam splitter utilizing an output of the femto second pulse source 12. A variable delay line 26 changes optical delay between gate pluses to obtain a replica of the THz waveform. With such an arrangement, the time distortion of the THz waveform is analyzed to obtain a structural component of an object and information of characteristic in real time.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To change an object into an image by using a terahertz (THz) signal by a method wherein a signal source is condensed on every point of the object and the object is scanned simultaneously by the signal source and a detector by using a pattern in a direction orthogonal to a propagation direction. SOLUTION: A THz beam from a transmitter 2 is condensed on a spot, on an object 4, whose diameter is, e.g. 0.3 to 0.5mm and which is diffraction- limited, and the spot is projected on a single THz detector 5. A sample is arranged on the focal plane of the THz beam, and it is scanned in a zigzag pattern in the x-direction and the y-direction by a movement means which is driven by a motor. The delay between the gate pulse of the transmitter 2 and the gate pulse of the detector 5 is scanned continuously by a 10Hz scanning delay line 6, its output is output to an A/D converter and a DSP 7 via the detector 5, and an FFT spectrumin every THz waveform is obtained simultaneously with a 10-Hz scanning rate by a prescribed conversion operation so as to be displayed on a display 8.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the temporary continuance time of light input pulse by providing a zero dispersion pulse shaper which generates spectrally dispersed pulses and a modulator module which generates selectively attenuated pulses. SOLUTION: As for a modulator array 130 placed in the zero dispersion shaper 100, pixels receiving the power spectrum center part of light input pulses which are spectrally dispersed are so controlled as to assume a finite gray level and pixels receiving the sleeve part of a power spectrum are driven still in a complete transparent state, thereby attenuating the center part of the power spectrum of the spectrally dispersed light input pulses 160. And, the zero dispersion pulse shaper 100 concentrates and recouples the spectrally dispersed light input pulses which are selectively attenuated to generate light output pulses 170 having temporary continuance time shortened as to the light input pulses 160.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain information on a resolution and a composition in a depthwise direction of an object to be inspected, by projecting a waveform including electromagnetic radiation pulses in a 10 Hz frequency range and measuring a related delay time of pulses reflected at the object. SOLUTION: Electromagnetic radiation T-ray pulse beams in a T-ray frequency range generated by a tera Hz (T-ray) wave transmitter 103 are reflected at a first reflecting surface 111 and a second reflecting surface 113, brought in an inspection object 107 and reflected. The reflected beams are reflected at a third reflecting surface 109 and received by a T-ray wave detector 105. In this case, a reflection waveform includes a plurality of distorted pulses with time of various amplitudes and polarities because of the reflection at a discontinuous dielectric body in the inspection object 107. An arrival time of each of the plurality of detected reflected pulses is measured at an operation process. A position of an interface of the dielectric body in the inspection object 107 in a propagation direction is determined from related delay times. Information on a resolution, a composition in a depthwise direction of the inspection object 107 is obtained in this manner.

    Abstract: Low-noise, bidirectional communications in a fiber optic cable is achieved by coupling a first end of the cable to a spectrally-sliced optical power source. A second end of the cable is coupled to an optical detector having a detector bandwidth, such that the bandwidth of the optical power source is greater than the detector bandwidth. When the bandwidth of the optical power source is large compared to the bandwidth of the detector, the beat frequencies resulting from coherent Rayleigh noise fall outside the bandwidth of the detector and are not detected.
