  • Publication number: 20170250516
    Abstract: A light source unit, a light source module, and a laser ignition device. The light source unit includes a lens array including a plurality of two-dimensionally disposed lenses and a lens substrate portion that supports the lenses, and an element substrate portion that supports a plurality of light emitters. The element substrate portion has a second coefficient of linear expansion. The first coefficient of linear expansion is approximately same as the second coefficient of linear expansion of the element substrate portion. The light source module includes the light source unit, and a condenser lens to collect and condense pump light emitted from the light source unit. The laser ignition device includes the light source module, and a laser resonator to absorb the pump light emitted from the light source unit.

  • Patent number: 7894133
    Abstract: A disclosed optical element includes: a transparent substrate; a subwavelength structure layer disposed on the transparent substrate, the subwavelength structure layer having a refractive index different from a refractive index of the transparent substrate; a minute concave and convex structure of one-dimensional grating formed on the subwavelength structure layer with a subwavelength period smaller than a wavelength to be used, where a concave portion reaches a boundary surface between the transparent substrate and the subwavelength structure layer; and an open hole portion formed on a subwavelength structure layer side of the transparent substrate so as to communicate with the concave portion of the minute structure and to be arranged with the same period as in the minute structure of one-dimensional grating. At least at the open hole portion, a refractive index relative to an incident light is changed in a direction orthogonal to the boundary surface.

  • Publication number: 20070217011
    Abstract: An optical element with a phase structure configured to provide a phase difference between a first polarization component of light and a second polarization component of the light which is orthogonal to the first polarization component, is provided, in which the phase structure includes a first fine periodic structure which includes plural first dielectric plates with a first thickness and a first refractive index which are periodically arranged in a first fine period and a second fine periodic structure which includes plural second dielectric plates with a second thickness and a second refractive index which are periodically arranged in a second fine period, wherein a refractive index of a medium between the plural first dielectric plates and a refractive index of a medium between the plural second dielectric plates are different from the first refractive index and the second refractive index, and at least one of, the first fine period and the second fine period, a ratio of the first thickness to the first f

  • Patent number: 6696834
    Abstract: A magnetic field probe includes a substrate and a conductive layer provided on the substrate. The conductive layer has a coil, lead wires, and pads. The coil has at least one turn and outputs a signal indicative of a magnetic field from a device under test in a vicinity of the magnetic field probe. The lead wires extend from the coil to the pads, the signal from the coil being transmitted to the pads through the lead wires. An isolating layer of a dielectric material is provided on the lead wires to protect the lead wires between the coil and the pads in the conductive layer. A shielding layer of a conductive material is provided on the isolating layer to protect the isolating layer. The shielding layer prevents distortion of the magnetic field at the lead wires in conjunction with the isolating layer.
