Abstract: A phase difference distribution estimation method includes: receiving an optical signal via a space and detecting a phase of the optical signal; calculating characteristic values related to characteristics of the atmosphere through which the optical signal propagates from the optical signal received in the receiving; estimating a phase difference distribution of an optical signal received after a certain period of time, on the basis of the characteristic values calculated in the calculating; and controlling a phase of an optical signal in the receiving on the basis of the phase difference distribution estimated in the estimating.

Abstract: A communication device includes: a light output unit for outputting light; a light splitting unit for splitting the light output by the light output unit into a plurality of split beams; and a plurality of spatial optical communication units provided in correspondence to the plurality of split beams, wherein the spatial optical communication units respectively transmit a corresponding split beam which is input from the light splitting unit to a partner communication device across space.

Abstract: Provided is a polyester adhesive composition containing a polyester resin (A) and a polyepoxy compound (B), wherein the polyester resin (A) contains structural units derived from a polyvalent carboxylic acid, structural units derived from a polyhydric alcohol, and wherein the structural units derived from the polyvalent carboxylic acid contain a specific amount of structural units derived from a cyclic structure, and the structural units derived from the polyhydric alcohol contain structural units derived from an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol. The polyester resin (A) also has a specific acid value and a specific glass transition temperature.

Abstract: An adhesive tape includes a substrate [I] and an adhesive agent layer of a polyester adhesive agent provided on at least one of opposite surfaces of the substrate [I]. The substrate [I] is one selected from a polyolefin resin foam substrate, a urethane resin foam substrate, and an acrylic resin foam substrate. The polyester adhesive agent is made from a polyester adhesive agent composition [II] which contains a polyester resin (A) having a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 to 300,000, and having a structural unit derived from a polyol and a structural unit derived from a polyvalent carboxylic acid compound containing an aromatic structure-containing compound in a proportion of not greater than 80 mol %. The adhesive tape is excellent in adherence between a polyester adhesive agent layer and a polyolefin resin foam substrate, a urethane resin foam substrate, or an acrylic resin foam substrate.

Abstract: A polyester pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is provided including a polyester resin having a predetermined amount of a structural unit derived from a hydrogenated polybutadiene structure-containing compound, or a polyester resin having a structural unit derived from a hydrogenated polybutadiene structure-containing compound and a predetermined amount of a structural unit derived from an aromatic ring structure-containing compound. The polyester pressure-sensitive adhesive composition has superior adhesion to a polyolefin base material and is highly transparency.
