  • Publication number: 20140322502
    Abstract: There is provided an antireflection coating having a band ranging from visible light to infrared (wavelength range from 400 nm to 1600 nm). The antireflection coating includes twelve layers formed by depositing a high refractive index material and a low refractive index material having a refractive index lower than the high refractive index material alternately and depositing an ultra-low refractive index material having a refractive index lower than the low refractive index material as the outermost layer. The first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh layers are formed by depositing the high refractive index material, the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth layers are formed by depositing the low refractive index material, and the twelfth layer is formed by depositing the ultra-low refractive index material, where the layers are numbered in order from the substrate side.

  • Publication number: 20120200927
    Abstract: An optical element having anti-reflection film includes an anti-reflection film having a reflection characteristic expressed by a function Fm(x), which is on an mth optical surface, and an anti-reflection film having a reflection characteristic expressed by a function Fn(x), which is on an nth optical surface. At least one of the Fm(x) and Fn(x) functions has the maximum value of reflectance in a predetermined wavelength, and has a characteristic curve of W-shape, and the other of the Fm(x) and Fn(x) function has a wavelength that negates at least one maximum value of the Fm(x) and the Fn(x) functions. The anti-reflection film having reflection characteristic expressed by the function Fm(x) is on an optical surface on a side nearer to the light source, than the anti-reflection film having reflectance characteristic expressed by the function Fn(x), where, m and n are positive integers, and m<n.

  • Patent number: 6550599
    Abstract: A motor includes a motor main body, an output arrangement secured to the motor main body, and a clutch arranged between the motor main body and the output arrangement. The motor main body includes a rotatable shaft. The output arrangement includes a housing and a worm shaft. The clutch transmits rotation of the rotatable shaft to the worm shaft and prevents transmission of rotation of the worm shaft to the rotatable shaft. The worm shaft and a driven-side rotator of the clutch are installed in the housing. The worm shaft and the driven-side rotator can be separately provided or alternatively can be integrally provided as a one-piece member. Then, a driving-side rotator of the clutch is installed on the rotatable shaft. Thereafter, the motor main body is connected to the housing of the output arrangement.
