    Abstract: A position sensor includes: a sheet-form optical waveguide including an under cladding layer, linear cores arranged in a lattice on the under cladding layer, and an over cladding layer formed to cover the cores; a light-emitting element connected to one end surface of the cores; and a light-receiving element connected to the other end surface of the cores. A refractive index difference between the cores and the under cladding layer and a refractive index difference between the cores and the over cladding layer are set in a specific range. The cores have an elasticity modulus higher than those of the under and over cladding layers. The deformation rate of a cross section of the cores as seen in a pressed direction is lower than the deformation rates of cross sections of the over cladding layer and the under cladding layer when a surface of the optical waveguide is pressed.

    Abstract: A connector includes an optical fiber and a case, and converts an optical signal input from the optical fiber into an electrical signal and outputs the electrical signal, or converts an input electrical signal into an optical signal and outputs the optical signal to the optical fiber. The case has a wall into which the optical fiber is inserted. The rear wall has an upper end and a lower end facing each other with a space therebetween so that the optical fiber intervenes in the space. The case includes an upper protruding wall protruding in the front-rear direction and a lower protruding wall protruding in the front-rear direction. Between the upper free end of the upper protruding wall and the lower free end of the lower protruding wall, a first space is defined so the optical fiber can freely move in the width direction.

    Abstract: A connector member is configured to be optically connected to an optical cable and to be connected to an output device-side connector that fixes an output device-side end portion of the optical cable. The connector member includes a laser diode (photoelectric conversion portion) configured to receive and emit an optical signal; a flexible light guide tube configured so that one end portion of the light guide tube is optically connected to the laser diode via an optical path conversion member, and so that the other end portion of the light guide tube is optically connected to the optical cable; and a connector that fixes the other end portion of the light guide tube. The connector member is configured to be connected to the output device-side connector. The connector is capable of relative movement with respect to the laser diode.

    Abstract: There is provided an input device including an optical waveguide that prevents cores from being cracked due to pressing with and movement of a tip input part of an input element. This input device includes an optical waveguide in a rectangular sheet form configured such that linear cores arranged in a lattice form are held between an under cladding layer and an over cladding layer both in a rectangular sheet form. A surface region of the over cladding layer corresponding to part of the cores arranged in the lattice form serves as an input region. Gaps between adjacent ones of the linear cores arranged in the lattice form are in the range of 10 to 300 μm which is smaller than conventional gaps. The cores have an elasticity modulus equal to or higher than those of the under cladding layer and the over cladding layer.
