Abstract:
A light deflector includes a movable part, a pair of beams to make the movable part swing or oscillate, a supporting portion supporting the pair of beams, and circuitry to obtain information about swing or oscillation of the movable part. In the light deflector, each one of the pair of beams includes a first piezoelectric member to which a first voltage is input and a second piezoelectric member configured to generate a second voltage, and the supporting portion includes a third piezoelectric member configured to generate a third voltage. In the light deflector, the first piezoelectric member is configured to deform the pair of beams based on the first voltage to make the movable part swing or oscillate, and the circuitry is configured to obtain the information about the swing or oscillation of the movable part based on information about the second voltage and information about the third voltage.
Abstract:
A spectroscope includes: a light incidence section that allows light from an outside to be incident; a diffraction grating that disperses wavelengths of the light incident on the diffraction grating by the light incidence section; a light reflector having a reflecting surface having an inclination variable around a rotation axis of the reflecting surface; and a light emitter that emits the light reflected by the light reflector to the outside. At least one of the light incidence section, the diffraction grating, and the light reflector, and the light emitter are changeable in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis. The position of the light emitter is changeable in a direction along a center axis of the light emitted from the light emitter.
Abstract:
A voltage level detecting device is provided including comparators, a detection circuit, a trigger signal output circuit, a delayed control signal output circuit, a delayed comparison result signal output circuit, a circuit, and a control circuit. The comparators compare a voltage level of an input signal with each threshold level to generate and output a comparison result signal. The detection circuit detects a change in the comparison result signal and outputs a detection signal. The trigger signal output circuit outputs a trigger signal when a predetermined time has elapsed. The delayed control signal output circuit outputs a delayed control signal indicating a value of the control signal. The delayed comparison result signal output circuit outputs a delayed comparison result signal indicating the value of the comparison result signal. The circuit outputs a voltage level signal indicating a voltage level of the input signal. The control circuit outputs the control signal.
