  • Patent number: 8582111
    Abstract: An optical coherence tomography apparatus includes a light source, a light coupling module, and an optical path difference generating module. The light source emits a coherent light. The light coupling module divides the coherent light into a first incident light and a second incident light. The first incident light is emitted to an item to be inspected and a first reflected light is generated. The second incident light is emitted to the optical path difference generating module, a second reflected light is generated according to the second incident light by the optical path difference generating module through changing the transparent/reflection properties of at least one optical devices of the optical path difference generating module, so that there is a optical path difference between the first reflected light and the second reflected light.

  • Publication number: 20130296681
    Abstract: An optical intraocular pressure measuring apparatus includes a light source, an optical module, a pressure providing module, a deformation measuring module, and a processing module. The light source provides an incident light. The optical module divides the incident light into a first incident light and a second incident light and emits them to a reference object and an object to be detected through a first light path and a second light path, and receives a first reflected light signal from reference object and a second reflected light signal from the object to be detected respectively. The pressure providing module coupled with second light path provides a pressure to deform the object to be detected. The deformation measuring module measures the deformation of the object to be detected. The processing module processes the first reflected light signal and second reflected light signal to generate an intraocular pressure measurement result.

  • Patent number: 8514202
    Abstract: An optical touch apparatus is disclosed. The optical touch apparatus comprises a light source emitting module, an optical module, a light sensing module, and a processing module. The optical module and the light sensing module are set around a surface of the optical touch apparatus. The light source emitting module sequentially emits scanning lights uniformly distributed above a direct scanned region of the surface according to a time sequence. When an object forms a touch point on the surface, the object will block the scanning lights and reflected lights reflected by the optical module. The light sensing module generates a sensing result according to the condition the light sensing module receives the scanning lights and the reflected lights. The processing module determines the position of the touch point according to the time sequence and the sensing result.
