Abstract: An inner panel of a lift gate includes an outer-frame forming portion comprising a pair of side edge frame portions including a pair of pillar portions and a lower end frame portion integrally formed at the side frame portions, an inner-frame forming portion formed at a lower edge portion of a window opening to connect to the outer-frame forming portion, and a panel portion covering over a portion enclosed by the outer-frame forming portion and the inner-frame forming portion. The panel portion comprises an outside panel portion provided to contact the outer panel and an inside panel portion integrally formed at the outside panel portion to connect to the outside panel portion and project toward a vehicle-compartment side beyond the outside panel portion and connects to the outer-frame forming portion and the inner-frame forming portion of said inner panel.

Abstract: A light trigger thyristor including a light guide (30) held in a receiving metal fitting (11) with a light entering end side of the light guide (30) inserted into one end of a cylindrical sleeve (15). A plano-convex lens (17) is inserted into the other end of the cylindrical sleeve (15) to face a light introducing window (LW). A connector terminal (12) to which step index optical fibers (131, 132) are connected is attached to the metal receiving fitting (11).

Abstract: A light amplifying apparatus adopting a redundant structure. Optical isolators 13, 14 are inserted between pump light sources 1, 2 and a photocoupler 4 so as to prevent injection locking, thereby preventing fluctuation of pump power.In another embodiment, optical fibers 15 adequately longer than the coherence length of the excitation light waves output from the pump light sources are provided. In still another embodiment, the frequency of the driving current for the pump light sources is modulated. In a further embodiment, wave plates 20, 21 are provided so as to circularly polarize the light waves output from the pump light sources clockwise and counterclockwise.

Abstract: A novel optoelectronics package includes an optical semiconductor, an electronic cooling element carrying the optical semiconductor and electrically connected to one of the terminals thereof, a pair of transmission lines having distributed constant characteristics and an airtight vessel housing the optical semiconductor, cooling element and transmission lines. A grounding line of the transmission lines is connected between the terminal of the optical semiconductor and an external ground terminal fixed at the vessel. A signal line of the transmission line is connected between the other terminal of the optical semiconductor and an external signal terminal, whereby the stray capacitance of the cooling element is shorted by the distributed constant grounding line.

Abstract: In an optical coupling unit having an optical coupler adapted to couple a light beam from a light-emitting element to an optical fiber, the aberration of the lens is decreased to improve the efficiency of coupling of the light beam from the light-emitting element to the optical fiber. A silicon crystal having a high refractive index is used as a lens material to realize an optical system of low aberration.
