  • Patent number: 11881677
    Abstract: A laser light source includes: a resonance unit with a light emitter; and an optical negative feedback unit. The resonance unit includes: a first waveguide; a first reflector to input the reflected light to the first waveguide; a second waveguide; a second reflector connected to the second waveguide; and a ring resonator between the first waveguide and the second waveguide. The light from the first reflector is blocked from the ring resonator and partially transmitted to a first end of the first waveguide opposite to a second end connected to the light emitter and the first reflector. The optical negative feedback unit includes: a third waveguide to which the light transmitted to the first end of the first waveguide is inputted; and a third reflector connected to the third waveguide. The light from the third reflector is inputted to the first waveguide via the third waveguide.

  • Patent number: 11539185
    Abstract: A laser apparatus includes: a light source configured to generate laser light; and an optical negative feedback unit configured to narrow a spectral line of the laser light using optical negative feedback. A modulation signal is input to the light source to modulate a frequency of the laser light. A modulation amount in the frequency of the laser light is detected. A modulation sensitivity is calculated from (i) the modulation amount and (ii) an intensity of the modulation signal.

  • Patent number: 9156991
    Abstract: A process for producing a resin-coated pigment capable of providing an ink and a paint being superior in dispersion stability of a pigment and having rapid drying property, high gloss and density without containing those such as an organic solvent and a salt that cause the lowering of performance of pigment dispersion, characterized in that a pigment is dispersed in an aqueous solution in which an anionic group-containing resin is dissolved in the presence of a basic compound and then, the anionic group-containing resin is precipitated on the surface of the pigment by removing the basic compound in the aqueous solution, using an ion exchange means.

  • Publication number: 20080281036
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pigment dispersion composition which has good fluidity and dispersion stability even in the case of having a high pigment concentration and exhibits excellent development characteristics when it is used for the areas requiring development characteristics such as a resist composition for a color filter or a resist composition for a black matrix. The pigment dispersion composition of the present invention is a pigment dispersion composition formed by dispersing a pigment in a dispersion medium, wherein the surface of said pigment is coated with an acid radical-containing reactant produced by the reaction of a carbodiimide compound having at least one carbodiimide group with an acid radical-containing resin having an acid value of 20 to 300 mgKOH/g and a weight average molecular weight of 1000 to 100000.

  • Patent number: 7099347
    Abstract: Conventional satellite communication systems operated under DAMA system have such disadvantages that assignment of communication lines becomes time-consuming in case of transmitting small quantity of data many times and that data transmission is impossible in case of no available communication line, because the line assignment is performed by DAMA system for each individual demand for line assignment regardless of data quantity to be transmitted. The invention provides a satellite communication system in which the time required for assigning and securing a communication line can be shortened and communication lines can be utilized more efficiently, because of using single or plural common signal channel lines instead of using ordinary communication lines in case that data quantity is below a certain level.

  • Publication number: 20020059612
    Abstract: The satellite communications system according to the present invention transmits data from the VSAT to the HUB through a fixedly predetermined first forward satellite channel. The HUB, on receiving a request for allocation of a second forward satellite channel having a greater frequency band than that of the first forward satellite channel, allocates the second forward satellite channel to the VSAT concerned on condition that the second forward satellite channel being unoccupied. According to this architecture, mass data can be transmitted effectively using the second forward satellite channel having a larger capacity than that of the first forward satellite channel.
