  • Patent number: 7239442
    Abstract: An optical frequency comb generator includes an oscillator (117) for oscillating modulating signals of a preset frequency, and an optical resonator (110) formed by an incident side reflecting mirror (112) and an outgoing side reflecting mirror (113), arranged parallel to each other. The optical resonator causes resonation in light incident via the incident side reflecting mirror (112). The optical frequency comb generator also includes an optical phase modulation unit (111) arranged between the incident side reflecting mirror (112) and the outgoing side reflecting mirror (113) for phase modulating the light, resonated by the optical resonator (110), by the modulating signals supplied from the oscillator (117), and for generating a plurality of sidebands centered about the frequency of the incident light at a frequency interval of the modulating signal. The outgoing side reflecting mirror (113) sets the transmittance from one frequency to another responsive to the light intensity of the generated sidebands.

  • Patent number: 5703288
    Abstract: A thermally-sensitive type flow meter measures a flow rate with a high accuracy by eliminating a noise generated in a source voltage. The flow meter includes a sensor chip comprising a substrate carrying sensing elements. First and second resistors are provided on first and second bridges formed over a depression formed on the substrate. The first bridge is positioned on an upstream side and the second bridge is positioned on a downstream side. The first and second resistors generate a heat by the same voltage source. First and second temperature measuring resistors are provided adjacent to the first and second resistors, respectively, to measure a temperature of the first and second resistors. Third and fourth temperature measuring resistors are provided for measuring the temperature of the fluid. A temperature control unit, including the first, second, third and fourth temperature measuring resistors, controls a temperature of each of the first and second resistors to be constant.

  • Patent number: 5208800
    Abstract: A magneto-optical signal detection device comprising a thin film type optical waveguide unit having a substrate on which a waveguide is formed. The unit has a coupling portion for coupling two polarization components simultaneously in a same plane of the waveguide as a TE mode and a TM mode. The modes TE and TM are included in reflection light reflected from a magneto-optical recording medium and perpendicular to each other. The unit also has a TE-TM mode separating portion having a taper boundary. A waveguide layer is gradually thinned in the taper boundary toward an outer end thereof.

  • Patent number: 5119452
    Abstract: A high efficiency prism coupling device that comprises a substrate, an optical waveguide layer disposed on the substrate, a gap adjuster layer disposed on the waveguide layer and a prism secured to the gap adjuster layer through a dielectric adhesive agent. The gap adjuster layer has a refractive index which is lower than that of the waveguide layer. The gap adjuster layer has a recess formed therein for guiding an incident beam to the waveguide layer through a bottom portion thereof. The adhesive agent is disposed in and around the recess and has a refractive index which is higher than that of the waveguide layer. The prism is made from a dielectric material and disposed above the recess of the gap adjuster layer through the adhesive agent. The prism has a refractive index which is higher than that of the waveguide layer. The incident beam is introduced from outside through the prism, the adhesive agent and the bottom portion of the recess to the waveguide layer.
