Abstract:
An interference fringe projection apparatus includes light source units that selectively emit light from a coherent light source from one of a plurality of optical emitters, a polarization-maintaining waveguide unit with a plurality of PANDA fibers (polarization-maintaining waveguides) that each guide light emitted from one of the plurality of optical emitters, polarization splitters that split an optical path of light emitted from each of the PANDA fibers by polarization direction, and a polarizing film that transmits only a linear polarization component in a particular direction of light split by the polarization splitter. The light source unit only emits linearly polarized light in one polarization-maintaining direction for at least one of the PANDA fibers, and the polarization-maintaining waveguide unit causes retardation of light emitted from the PANDA fibers to vary.

Abstract:
A display processing unit causes a display device to display an endoscopic image of a living tissue in a somatic cavity captured by an endoscope. An operation reception unit receives a user operation that is performed so as to set an area of interest in the endoscopic image. An area-of-interest setting unit sets the area of interest in the endoscopic image based on the user operation. A three-dimensional information acquisition unit acquires three-dimensional shape information of the living tissue captured by the endoscope. A virtual surface derivation unit derives three-dimensional shape information of a virtual surface in the area of interest from three-dimensional shape information of an area different from the area of interest. A size information identification unit identifies information concerning a size of the virtual surface from the three-dimensional shape information of the virtual surface.

An optical measurement apparatus includes a light projector that projects a patterned light, and an imager that captures an image of a target onto which the patterned light has been projected. The light projector and the imager are fixed to each other via a mounting face that intersects both a projection axis direction of the light projector and an image acquisition axis direction of the imager.
Abstract:
Hologram data is generated by dividing hologram data generation area, in which hologram data is generated, into a plurality of element sub-areas, computing base hologram data that pertains to an area smaller than the hologram data generation area and that is to form an optical wavefront of an image to be reconstructed, and assigning, as hologram data of the element sub-areas4, hologram data of an entirety or a part of the area to which the base hologram data pertains. Consequently, the amount of operations for generating a hologram pattern in holographic display is reduced.
Abstract:
An illumination apparatus generates an interference fringe. An input arm receives an input light beam from a light source. A splitter splits the input light beam that has passed through the input arm into a first output arm and a second output arm. A phase modulator changes a phase difference between the output light beams of the first output arm and the second output arm. A phase detector detects the phase difference between output light beams respectively output from the first output arm and the second output arm based on a return light beam generated by combining a first reflected light beam and a second reflected light beam respectively reflected by ends of the first output arm and the second output arm.
