  • Publication number: 20190204443
    Abstract: A ranging light source includes a light source, a frequency division device and a transmitter. The light source is configured to generate a comb laser. The frequency division device is configured to generate a plurality of emitting n laser beams. These emitting laser beams have different center frequencies respectively. The transmitter is configured to output the emitting laser beams. The light source, the frequency division device and the transmitter are located on a first optical path. On the optical path, the frequency division device is between the light source and the transmitter.

  • Patent number: 7767441
    Abstract: A bioassay system is disclosed. The bioassay system may include a plurality of optical detection apparatuses, each of which includes a substrate having a light detector, and a linker site formed over the light detector, the linker site being treated to affix the biomolecule to the linker site. The linker site is proximate to the light detector and is spaced apart from the light detector by a distance of less than or equal to 100 micrometers. The light detector collects light emitted from the biomolecule within a solid angle of greater than or equal to 0.8 SI steridian. The optical detection apparatus may further include an excitation light source formed over the substrate so as to provide a light source for exciting a fluorophore attached to the biomolecule.

  • Patent number: 7307370
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a long-stroke nanopositioning device, comprising: a piezoelectric tube; a quartz glass rod; two fixed seats being disposed on the ends of the piezoelectric tube and a piezoelectric actuator. Each of the fixed seats has a base for receiving at least one spring and a plurality of ruby balls. The quartz glass rod is gripped to the fixed seat by the ruby balls of the fixed seat wherein the gripping force is controlled by means of the spring. The piezoelectric actuator applies an input voltage to the piezoelectric tube to cause one end of the piezoelectric tube to have a relative displacement in a direction along the axis of the quartz glass rod. The present invention provides a nanopositioning device capable of long stroke displacements at the nanometer scale by controlling the input voltage of the piezoelectric actuator and the gripping force of the ruby balls.
