  • Publication number: 20120063734
    Abstract: A multimode graded-index plastic optical fiber comprises a cladding and a core. The core has a refractive index which continuously becomes higher as closer to a center of a circular cross-section of the core. The core propagates light of a first mode group, which should be propagated, of incoming light from one end face of the core and emits the light from the other end face of the core. The cladding is provided on a periphery of the core and has a cylindrical cross-section. The cladding has a refractive index which is lower than that of the core. The cladding deflects light of the first mode group at an interface with the core. The core has a first core section, a second core section and a third core section. The first core section contacts an inner circumference of the cladding. The second core section is inside the first core section, and is inside the core. The second core section is a light scattering section which scatters light of a second mode group of the incoming light outside.

  • Patent number: 8102655
    Abstract: Provided is a circuit device capable of increasing the packaging density and preventing the thermal interference between circuit elements to be incorporated. In a hybrid integrated circuit device, a first circuit board and a second circuit board are fitted into a case member in a way that the first circuit board is overlaid with the second circuit board. A first circuit element is arranged on the upper surface of the first circuit board and a second circuit element is arranged on the upper surface of the second circuit board. Furthermore, inside the case member, provided is a hollow portion that is not filled with a sealing resin. Such a configuration prevents the second circuit element, which is a microcomputer, from operating unstably due to a heat generated in the first circuit element, which is a power transistor, for example.
