Abstract: In an infrared ray sensor for a bolometer, a bridge structure body, a resistive element film for the bolometer, and a protection film is formed via a space on a substrate, and is formed into a solution form by dissolving metal organic compound into solvent. The solution is applied and dried. A laser ray is irradiated for the solution with wavelength of 400 nm or less. A bond between carbon and oxygen is decomposed and cut to thereby form an oxide thin-film.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for producing a metal oxide, which comprises the steps of: dissolving a metal organic compound (e.g. a metal organic acid salt, a metal acetylacetonato complex, and a metal alkoxide having an organic group with 6 or more carbon atoms) in a solvent to provide a state of solution, applying the solution onto a substrate, drying the solution, and subjecting the resultant substrate to irradiation with a laser light of a 400 nm or less wavelength, to form a metal oxide on the substrate. According to that method, a metal oxide can be produced without applying a heat treatment at a high temperature of the degree adopted in the conventionally known application thermal decomposition method.

Abstract: A process for forming a dense, epitaxial metal oxide film on a single crystal substrate, including cleaning the surface of the single crystal substrate, contacting the cleaned surface with a polar organic compound such as a small molecular weight alcohol, so that the cleaned surface adsorbs the polar organic compound, then applying a hydrocarbon solvent solution containing at least one organic group-containing metal compound on the polar organic compound-adsorbed surface, and then heating the substrate to decompose the organic group-containing metal compound and to form a dense epitaxial metal oxide film on the substrate.

Abstract: A superconductive material including a substrate and a superconductive layer of a double oxide of metals provided on the substrate is produced by a method which comprises the steps of:(a) providing a solution containing a blend of metal compounds having a composition corresponding to that of the double oxide;(b) applying the solution on the substrate to form a liquid film;(c) drying the liquid film; and(d) calcining the dried film to convert the metal compounds into the superconductive double oxide of the metals.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting ophthalmic diseases in a patient's eye includes light projection system for projecting a laser beam at a spot in the eye. The light scattered from the eye is photoelectrically detected and converted into an electrical signal which is subsequently used to determine the protein concentration essential to ophthalmic disease detection. A monitor is provided in the light projection system for monitoring light scattered from the cornea of the eye on which the laser beam is projected, and for monitoring a virtual image which is formed by the cornea surface from light scattered at the exit window of the light projection system to correctly position and align the apparatus in order to ensure accurate protein concentration measurements.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting ophthalmic diseases, such as inflammation in a patient's eye, includes a projection system for projecting and focusing a laser beam at a selected spot in the eye. The laser light scattered from the eye is photoelectrically detected through a slit in a mask and converted into an electrical signal which is used to determine the protein concentration in the patient's eye. A light shield member is displaceable in front of the mask slit to selectively block diffused light from the eye or scattered laser light to improve the S/N ratio of the electrical signal.
