  • Publication number: 20180033551
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electronic component for avoiding electromagnetic interference includes: (a) placing a T-shaped core and an air-core coil in a metal mold; (b) injecting a mixture of a composite magnetic material and a resin into the metal mold so that the T-shaped core and the air-core coil are embedded by the mixture; (c) heating the mixture at a first temperature; (d) adjusting an outer shape while removing excessive mixture; and (e) hardening the mixture. The method may further include a process of polishing an outside of the hardened mixture. The method may further include a process of applying a pressure of 0.1 to 20.0 kg/cm2 to the mixture for adjusting an outer shape of the mixture by a movable punch of a press machine before the hardening process.

  • Patent number: 9864215
    Abstract: Provided is a substrate-type optical waveguide, having a phase modulation function, (i) in which a reflection of a signal to be inputted via a coplanar line is restrained and (ii) which consumes less power. In a case where the substrate-type optical waveguide is partitioned into a plurality of sections by cross sections orthogonal to a direction in which light propagates through a core, a local capacitance in each of the plurality of sections gradually increases as a distance from an entrance end surface increases.

  • Publication number: 20170179683
    Abstract: Emitter width of an LD is set greater than a diameter, of a core, in an entrance end surface of an optical fiber. An optical system provided between the LD and the optical fiber causes a diameter, of laser beam, in the entrance end surface of the optical fiber to become smaller than the diameter, of the core, in the entrance end surface of the optical fiber. The LD is configured so that a beam parameter product of the laser beam emitted from the LD shows a local minimal value which changes in accordance with the emitter width of the LD, and which is equal to or smaller than a beam parameter product of the optical fiber. The emitter width of the LD is set so that the beam parameter product of the laser beam emitted from the LD is equal to or smaller than that of the optical fiber.
