Patent number: 9568422Abstract: Provided is a light beam incident device including an off-axis parabolic mirror that receives parallel light beams and converges the parallel light beams at one point on an object to be measured, and an incident-side light reception surface of a mirror that feeds the parallel light beams to the off-axis parabolic mirror. An angle (incident angle) between the object to be measured and converged light beams obtained by converging the parallel light beams changes in accordance with a light reception portion at which the off-axis parabolic mirror receives the parallel light beams. The incident side light reception surface of the mirror can change the light reception portion by moving with respect to the off-axis parabolic mirror.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2013Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: ADVANTEST CORPORATIONInventors: Tomoyu Yamashita, Akiyoshi Irisawa

Patent number: 8493057Abstract: A detector detects an electromagnetic wave having a frequency of 0.01 THz?f?100 THz and transmitted through a device under test (DUT). A changer changes a relative position of an intersection of an optical path of the electromagnetic wave and the DUT, with respect to the DUT. A deriver derives a characteristic value of the electromagnetic wave based on a detection result of the detector, while the characteristic value is associated with an assumed relative position, which is the relative position if the electromagnetic wave is not refracted by the DUT. A corrector changes the assumed relative position to an actual relative position, which is the relative position if the refraction of the electromagnetic wave by the DUT is considered. A corrected deriver derives the characteristic value associated with a predetermined relative position based on an output from the corrector.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Advantest CorporationInventors: Shigeki Nishina, Motoki Imamura, Akiyoshi Irisawa, Tomoyu Yamashita, Eiji Kato, Kodo Kawase
