An electric photograph system for improving non-linearities of an exposing light intensity and an operating current at a low exposing level when performing analog printing operation. A range (saturable absorber) having a saturable absorbing characteristic is provided in a part of an optical path including a semiconductor laser as light source to improve the non-linearity of the operating current when the light intensity is weak. The saturable absorber may be made in the form of a non current injected area provided in a part of the semiconductor laser as the light source or a thin film layer provided partly in films coated on a facet of the semiconductor laser. Due to the provision of the saturable absorber, the light output power characteristic can exhibit its linearity in its low optical power range, the size of a printing dot can be arithmetically changed, and thus fine laser printing can be realized.

A laser printer is provided printing with a high precision simply and at a high speed, and the laser printer uses a semiconductor laser which can vary the diameter of the emitted light while the light density is held constant. In the laser printer, laser rays emitted from a semiconductor laser are irradiated onto a photoconductor to vary its surface potential to produce a charge pattern particles adhere, and printing is performed by transferring the changed particles to a printing object. The semiconductor laser has a plurality of waveguide type resonators, the emitted beams of the resonators having a spatial superposition, and light emission is possible so that the emitted beams of the resonators having a spatial superposition with respect to each other among the resonators of the semiconductor laser are not substantially superimposed in time.

A method may be used to dry etch a sample including a plurality of regions different from each other in the photo-absorption of a light having a specified wavelength using an etching gas plasma. The method is capable of selectively etching the desired material from a plurality of materials having different types of band gap energies or from a plurality of materials having different band gap energies. The method includes a step of irradiating a light having the specified wavelength on the sample for reducing an etching rate of a region having a large photo-absorption coefficient to the light, thereby selectively etching a region having a small photo-absorption coefficient to the light.

To achieve stable, high capacity, high speed recording. Of two light beams emitted from a light irradiation means, one or two beams are made pass through an optical path changeable member whereof at least one of the thickness and refractive index changes continuously or in two or more steps immediately after emission from the light irradiation means, so that a difference is introduced into the optical path length of the two beams, and the focusing point of one beam is made to vary to coincide with a position in the recording layer used for playback or recording. Another light beam is used for servo. Converging of light during recording or read of a multilayer recording medium is performed with higher precision than in the prior art, so higher density, higher capacity recording/playback can be performed.
摘要:
When a semiconductor laser is energized, a virtual junction temperature rises to reduce a threshold current, which fluctuates a light output by the unit of a several microseconds, thereby causing printing irregularity. An object of the invention is to prevent the fluctuation in light output occurring due to the temperature change caused by the energization of the semiconductor laser with a simple circuit structure and under the driving condition of a small bias current. A constant voltage driving is performed with a circuit or device having negative resistance characteristics being arranged In series with the semiconductor laser. Thus, the reduction in light output of the semiconductor laser due to the temperature rise is compensated for by an increase in driving current thanks to a reduction in rising voltage of current/voltage characteristics.
