Patent number: 7301974Abstract: An optical signal emitted from a semiconductor laser is converged by a lens and then received by a single uniaxial birefringent crystal having a C axis that is inclined at an angle other than 90 degrees against a laser optical axis to output an optical signal having a polarized wave component of constant intensity corresponding to the wavelength of the optical signal regardless of temperature changes. The optical signal has an ordinary ray vibrating in a direction perpendicular to a plane including both the C axis and the laser optical axis, and an extraordinary ray vibrating in a direction perpendicular to both the ordinary ray and the laser optical axis. A first main photo detector detects the intensity of a p-polarized component of the optical signal that has passed through a polarizer and a second photo detector directly receives the optical signal converged by the lens.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2001Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masao Imaki, Yoshihito Hirano, Makoto Satou, Kenji Masuda, Akihiro Adachi, Shinichi Takagi, Yasunori Nishimura

Patent number: 7239654Abstract: On a plate of birefringent crystal made of an LiNbO3 crystal or an LiTaO3 crystal, a conductive substance is adhered to the whole periphery of side surfaces of the plate that intersect an incident surface of a laser beam, thereby to form a wave plate. A polarizer is provided at the latter stage of the wave plate. A wavelength is monitored based on an output from the polarizer. With this arrangement, based on the use of the LiNbO3 crystal or the LiTaO3 crystal that can be manufactured by a large quantity at low cost, it is possible to obtain polarization characteristics and wavelength discrimination characteristics that are stable against environmental changes such as temperature and external stress, by suppressing the pyroelectric effect and the piezoelectric effect of these materials.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masao Imaki, Syuhei Yamamoto, Youhei Mikami, Yoshihito Hirano, Makoto Satou, Kenji Masuda, Yasunori Nishimura, Yuji Masuyama

Patent number: 7160569Abstract: Provided is an acidic oil-in-water type emulsified composition, containing an oil or fat having a diglyceride content of 30 wt. % or greater an egg yolk, and a water soluble soybean polysaccharide. The acidic oil-in-water type emulsified composition of the present invention is excellent in taste and appearance stability, has resistance against pressure-induced shear stress which occurs upon preparation or use, shows less changes in physical properties, for example, viscosity reduction can be suppressed, and is free from appearance change such as oil/water separation. Thus, it has a stable quality.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2003Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Naoto Kudou, Yoshinobu Nakajima, Makoto Satou, Masakatsu Sugiura, Hiroaki Yamaguchi, Tsukasa Miyatani

Patent number: 6872289Abstract: A thin film is fabricated while causing ions in a plasma P to be incident by effecting biasing relative to the space potential of the plasma P by imparting a set potential to the surface of a substrate 9. A bias system 6 causes the substrate surface potential Vs to vary in pulse form by imposing an electrode imposed voltage Ve in pulse form on a bias electrode 23 which is in a dielectric block 22. The pulse frequency is lower than the oscillation frequency of ions in the plasma P, and the pulse period T, pulse width t and pulse height h are controlled by a control section 62 in a manner such that the incidence of ions is optimized. The imposed pulses are controlled in a manner such that the substrate surface potential Vs recovers to a floating potential Vf at the end of a pulse period T, and that the ion incidence energy temporarily crosses a thin film sputtering threshold value in a pulse period T.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2001Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Anelva CorporationInventors: Shigeru Mizuno, Makoto Satou, Manabu Tagami, Hideki Satou

Publication number: 20040165623Abstract: An optical signal emitted from a semiconductor laser (1) is converged by a lens (2) and is then received by a single uniaxial birefringent crystal (3). The uniaxial birefringent crystal (3) has a C axis that is inclined at an angle other than 90 degrees against a laser optical axis that is the direction in-which the optical signal is traveling so as to output an optical signal having a polarized wave component of constant intensity corresponding to the wavelength of the optical signal regardless of temperature changes thereof. The optical signal passing through the uniaxial birefringent crystal (3) has an ordinary ray vibrating in a direction perpendicular to a plane including both the C axis and the laser optical axis, and an extraordinary ray vibrating in a direction perpendicular to both the ordinary ray and the laser optical axis. A polarizer (4) receives this optical signal and allows a p-polarized component of the optical signal to pass therethrough.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2003Publication date: August 26, 2004Inventors: Masao Imaki, Yoshihito Hirano, Makoto Satou, Kenji Masuda, Akihiro Adachi, Shinichi Takagi, Yasunori Nishimura
