Abstract:
A photonic package includes a housing having a semiconductor light source disposed within the housing. The semiconductor light source has a first output and a second output. A reflective surface is disposed inside the housing to reflect the second output from the semiconductor light source. A photodetector is also disposed within the housing and is adapted to indirectly receive the second output of the semiconductor light source reflected off the reflective surface. As a result, interior surface of a housing of an optical transponder may be utilized to provide reflected light to a photodetector to monitor the semiconductor light source.
Abstract:
A laser illumination apparatus for illuminating a semiconductor film with a linear laser beam while scanning the semiconductor film with the linear laser beam. An optical system generates a linear laser beam having a beam width W by dividing a pulse laser beam that is emitted from a pulsed laser light source into a plurality of beams vertically and horizontally, and combines divisional beams after they have been processed into a linear shape individually. A mechanism is provided to move a substrate that is mounted with the semiconductor film. A condition W/20≦&Dgr;(r)≦x≦W/5 or &Dgr;(r)≦W/20≦x≦W/5 is satisfied, where r is a height difference of the surface of the semiconductor film, &Dgr;(r) is a variation amount of the beam width W as a function of the height difference r, and x is a movement distance of the substrate during an oscillation period of the pulsed laser light source.

Abstract:
A surface having specular regions shaped to reflect incident light toward an optical sensor provides an ideal surface to be scanned by an optical mouse. When light is shined upon the surface, the reflections off of the specular regions appear as white points in the image acquired by the optical sensor, which gives the optical sensor the distinguishing characteristics it needs to differentiate between images. Since the specular regions reflect light so well, less light is needed to obtain an image, and power is conserved. The surface appears as a dark background in the image, providing contrast to the light reflecting off the specular regions. To protect the specular regions, an optically transparent coating can be layered on top of the surface. An alternative surface that may be easier to manufacture is a light colored surface dotted with darker colored regions.

Apparatus for scanning a beam across a surface including a scanner scanning a pulsed laser beam across a surface and a position indicator receiving an input from the pulsed laser beam at a plurality of locations across the surface, and outputting position indications indicating a position of said pulsed laser beam along said surface. The position indications are used to modulate data in apparatus for exposing patterns on surfaces, for example electrical circuit patterns on photosensitized surfaces.

Abstract:
A scan beam light quantity distribution method and apparatus using a two-dimensional area light receiving sensor (8) movable in the same direction as scan direction of a scan beam. The two-dimensional area light receiving sensor (8) detects a scan beam while moving in the scan direction of the scan beam. The scan beam received by the two-dimensional area light receiving sensor (8) is correlated with position information when stored in data storage section (10.) By using scan beam data stored in the data storage section, analysis is made on a light quantity distribution of the scan beam scanned in X-direction.
Abstract:
A light guide 3 has a cross-sectional shape substantially ¼ oval. An end of a major axis side of the oval is cut (chamfered) to include a focal point of the oval. Light scattering patterns 3P are provided on a plane 3d formed by cutting. The light guide 3 is housed in a light guide casing 4 to allow the emission plane 3a to be exposed, and a light-emitting source base plate is provided on an end surface of the light guide 3 in the longitudinal direction to form a line-illuminating device 10. This line-illuminating device 10 shows characteristics in which intensity distribution in a sub-scanning direction is not changed much relative to elevation of a document surface. Accordingly, if an optical axis of a rod lens 5 and a light-receiving surface of a line image sensor 6 are arranged in an area with less change of light intensity relative to elevation of the document surface, it is possible to reduce possible deterioration of a reading image even when the document surface is elevated.

Abstract:
An SIM (solid immersion mirror) made principally of a light-permeable high-refractive-index medium has a lower surface which is produced by rotating a parabola about a symmetry axis, and an upper surface which is a perpendicular bisector surface of a line segment connecting the vertex and the focus of the parabola. The upper surface has the property of transmitting collimated light incident in a direction perpendicular thereto and reflecting the light reflected from the lower surface. Such a structure of the SIM facilitates the design of the upper surface and the lower surface both of which are reflecting surfaces, and allows the light to be incident on a light focusing point uniformly from therearound, thereby to form a proper light spot at the light focusing point. Additionally, the SIM allows the light to enter the medium through the entire upper surface, to achieve effective use of light.
Abstract:
A scanning method for detecting documents is provided an optical scanning device. The optical scanning device is capable of scanning an object by a reflective scanning mode or a transmittal scanning mode. Then obtaining an image signal of the object by either the reflective scanning mode or a transmittal scanning mode with the retrieved scanning mod. Comparing the image signal with a pre-determined signal will result in an implementation from one of the reflective scanning mode or the transmittal scanning mode.
