A quantum cryptographic communication system includes a transmitter (Alice) and a receiver (Bob) which are optically connected through an optical transmission line. The transmitter transmits signal light having a quantum state and reference light having no quantum state to the receiver through the optical transmission line. The receiver includes an optical amplifier that amplifies the reference light; a homodyne detector that generates a signal output based on amplified reference light and the received signal light; a level detector that detects a signal output level from the signal output; and an optical amplifier controller that controls a gain of the optical amplifier based on at least the signal output level.
Abstract:
The coordinate system fixing unit uses the displacement of an object under measurement between photographed images in chronological order to generate fixed-coordinate chronological images. The displacement calculation unit uses the fixed-coordinate chronological images to calculate a two-dimensional spatial distribution of the displacement of the surface of the object under measurement. The displacement difference calculation unit calculates a two-dimensional displacement difference distribution by removing an error component from the two-dimensional spatial distribution. The depth movement amount calculation unit calculates a depth movement amount from the two-dimensional displacement difference distribution. The displacement separation unit calculates in-plane displacement from the two-dimensional displacement difference distribution. The determination unit uses the in-plane displacement and/or the depth movement amount to determine whether there is an abnormality in the object under measurement.

Abstract:
An imaging device outputs time series images that include multiple captured images that capture over time the surface of the object to be measured. On the optical path extending from the object to be measured, through a lens equipped on the imaging device and up to the imaging surface, the optical path bending member is interposed in a part of the optical path between the object to be measured and a lens. The optical path bending member bends the light traveling from the lens to the imaging surface so as to tilt the light in a direction such that the direction of travel thereof approaches the optical axis of the lens. This abnormality determination device utilizes the in-plane displacement and out-of-plane displacement calculated from the time series images to determine abnormalities in the measured object.
