An optical pickup and an optical recording medium reproducing apparatus smaller and more reliable than conventional optical pickups and optical recording medium reproducing apparatuses. These are provided with a one-dimensional metal grid which is formed so that the ratio h/d that the pitch "d" and the thickness of metal conductors "h" constituting the wire grid is about 0.1 or more, and also a group of light receiving units which receive light beams split by the one-dimensional metal grid.

An optical communications apparatus and method of using same in which optical coupling between an optical medium and a light emitter and a light receptor is achieved without any optical system therebetween. A minor axis of light transmission pattern on an end face of the optical fiber corresponds to the radial direction of the end face while a center C of the light emitter is displaced off from a center axis O, thereby providing improved optical coupling efficiencies.

An image production apparatus, an image display apparatus and an image display method are disclosed which can reduce the ununiformity in luminance and color which appears on a display screen and can be formed compact. Also optical modulation device adjustment apparatus is disclosed which can detect and correct the ununiformity in modulation characteristic of a modulation device. The image display apparatus includes a light detection apparatus in addition to a light source section, an illumination optical system, an optical modulation section, a spatial filter, a light projection section and a screen. The light detection apparatus detects the dispersion of a modulation characteristic of each pixel element of GLV devices and the ununiformity in luminance and color displayed in accordance with an illumination condition. An optimum driving voltage for minimizing the ununiformity in color and luminance to be displayed is determined based on a signal detected by the light detection apparatus.
摘要:
Polarization inversion domains 2 are irregularly formed in a ferroelectric substrate 3 constituting an electro-optical element 1 at least in the propagation direction of a light beam A. An A.C. current signal is applied between electrodes 4 and 5. It is thereby arranged to disturb the phase of each of the light rays constituting a light beam whose coherent characteristic is high, such as a laser light or the like, and thereby to easily obtain the light beam whose coherent characteristic has been decreased.

An optical waveguide device for use as a second harmonic generator includes a nonlinear optical crystalline substrate of KTiOPO.sub.4 and an optical waveguide core of a dielectric material, such as Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5, disposed on the nonlinear optical crystalline substrate. The optical waveguide converts a fundamental wave having a wavelength .lambda. which is guided through the optical waveguide into a second harmonic wave having a wavelength .lambda./2, the second harmonic wave having the same polarization as the fundamental wave which is guided through the optical waveguide. The optical waveguide has a thickness of 190 nm or greater. The optical waveguide device also has a dielectric loaded strip disposed on the optical waveguide core. The dielectric loaded strip may be made of SiO.sub.2 or SiO.sub.2 doped with Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5. Alternatively, the optical waveguide may be a ridge-type optical waveguide, and the optical waveguide device may also has a cladding layer disposed on the nonlinear optical crystalline substrate and the optical waveguide core.
