  • Patent number: 6414796
    Abstract: For prevention of ghost images from occurring on head-up displays, a glass surface is ground, and a reflecting surface with a wedge-shaped cross section is formed. Furthermore, in order to reduce optical distortion at the edge portion of the reflecting surface, a ground surface contacting the reflecting surface with an angle between 150° and 210° is formed. In accordance with the enlargement of the reflecting surface accompanied by the tendency of head-up displays becoming larger, the reflecting surface is divided into at least two regions, and the angle of the reflecting surface is optimized for each region.

  • Publication number: 20020037134
    Abstract: An optical fiber, having a fiber cladding and a fiber core doped with laser active material, is embedded in an optical waveguide core having a refractive index almost equal to that of the optical fiber cladding, and pumping light is guided, in a side pumping manner, from the semiconductor laser via the light-guiding section. The guided pumping light is absorbed by the laser active material, as it propagates and moves around in the optical waveguide core in a fixed direction. Because the optical waveguide core is ring-shaped and enclosed by the optical waveguide cladding having a low refractive index, the rest of the guided pumping light propagates and moves around in the optical waveguide core again. Therefore, a laser active material in the optical fiber core can be pumped efficiently.
