  • Publication number: 20220229246
    Abstract: An excitation light irradiation device includes a substrate having a color center. The color center is excited by an excitation light incident to the substrate. The substrate includes first and second reflection surfaces facing each other, and first and second end surfaces facing each other. When the excitation light enters into the substrate, the incident excitation light travels from the first end surface to the second end surfaces while repeatedly reflecting between the first and second reflection surfaces. The second end surface is inclined. The second end surface reflects the incident excitation light so as to cause the incident excitation light to be emitted from one of the first and second reflection surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20220091201
    Abstract: A measurement device includes a microwave generator, an electron spin resonance member, and an observation system. The microwave generator is configured to generate a microwave. The microwave is configured for an electron spin quantum operation based on a Rabi oscillation. The microwave generator has a coil configured to emit the microwave and an electrostatic capacitance member electrically connected in parallel to the coil. The microwave is irradiated to the electron spin resonance member. The observation system is configured to measure a physical quantity in a measured field in response to a state of the electron spin resonance member when the electron spin resonance member is irradiated by the microwave. The electrostatic capacitance member is directly connected to the coil or is arranged between the coil and an electric element that is electrically connected to the coil.

  • Publication number: 20210190883
    Abstract: An ODMR member is arranged in a measurement target AC magnetic field. A coil applies a magnetic field of a microwave to the ODMR member. A high frequency power supply causes the coil to conduct a current of the microwave. An irradiating device irradiates the ODMR member with light. A light receiving device detects light that the ODMR member emits. A measurement control unit performs a predetermined DC magnetic field measurement sequence at a predetermined phase of the measurement target AC magnetic field, and in the DC magnetic field measurement sequence, controls the high frequency power supply and the irradiating device and thereby determines a detection light intensity of the light detected by the light receiving device. A magnetic field calculation unit calculates an intensity of the measurement target AC magnetic field on the basis of the predetermined phase and the detection light intensity.

  • Publication number: 20200108248
    Abstract: An electrical stimulator is provided including: a base wire configured with a core wire and an outer winding wire wound around the core wire with the core wire serving as a winding axis. The core wire is entirely coated by an insulating film, and an annulus is formed by spiraling or looping the base wire. One end of the core wire is electrically connected to one end of the outer winding wire. The other end of the core wire is connected to a first terminal of an external circuit. Further, the other end of the outer winding wire is connected to a second terminal of the external circuit. Thus, the annulus can apply an electrical stimulation to a living body.

  • Patent number: 10379216
    Abstract: A measurement apparatus outputs from a first antenna pair transmission signals (St11) and (St12) whose phase difference (??1) changes over time. A target object simultaneously receives the transmission signals (St11) and (St12) from a target-side antenna and returns to the measurement apparatus information (D?) according to the positional relationship between the target object and the measurement apparatus determined from a reception signal (Sr1). The measurement apparatus outputs from a second antenna pair transmission signals (St21) and (St22) whose phase difference (??2) changes over time. The target object simultaneously receives the transmission signals (St21) and (St22) from the target-side antenna and returns to the measurement apparatus the information (D?) corresponding to the positional relationship between the target object and the measurement apparatus determined from a reception signal (Sr2).
