    Abstract: A measuring device includes a light source that emits at least one first light pulse and at least one second light pulse toward a target part of an object, a photodetector that detects at least one first reflected light pulse returning from the target part and at least one second reflected light pulse returning from the target part, and a control circuit that controls the light source and the photodetector. The control circuit causes the light source to emit the at least one first light pulse and the at least one second light pulse at different timings. The control circuit causes the photodetector to detect a first component and output a first electric signal representing the first component. The control circuit causes the photodetector to detect a second component and output a second electric signal representing the second component.

    Abstract: A method for designing an optical system having a stepped diffraction grating surface includes a flare computation step of defining a temporary shape of the diffraction grating surface and computing a flare amount, and a determination step of determining whether or not the flare amount is within a permissible range, and setting the temporary shape as a shape of the diffraction grating surface if the flare amount is within the permissible range, and returning to the flare computation step if the flare amount is out of the permissible range. The flare computation step includes a temporary shape definition step of defining the temporary shape, a phase computation step of conducting ray tracing from an object surface to an image surface of the optical system at a predetermined field angle, using the temporary shape to find phase information, a pupil distribution computation step of finding pupil distribution on an exit pupil, based on the phase information, and a point image distribution computation step of finding point image distribution on the image surface from the pupil distribution, using a wave propagation analysis method to compute the flare amount.

    Abstract: A measurement apparatus includes a light source, a sensor including light detection cells including a first light detection cell and a second light detection cell, and an electronic circuit. The circuit causes the light source to emit a light pulse, causes the first light detection cell to detect a reflected light pulse from a target in an exposure period including at least part of a period from when an intensity of the reflected light pulse starts increasing to when it starts falling and generate a first signal, causes the second light detection cell to detect the reflected light pulse in an exposure period including at least part of a trailing period from when the intensity of the reflected light pulse starts falling to when it stops falling and generate a second signal. The circuit generates, based on the first and second signals, data representing states of the target.

    Abstract: A distance-measuring device includes a light source, a light detector, and a circuit. The circuit causes the light source to output a light pulse toward a target object, causes the light detector to detect a reflection-light pulse in a first period and a second period to generate a first signal and a second signal, respectively, and generates and outputs data indicating a distance from the light detector to the target object based on the two signals. The first period includes at least a part of a rise period, from a first point at which an intensity of the reflection-light pulse starts increasing to a second point at which the increase ends, and the first point. The second period includes at least a part of a fall period, from a third point at which the intensity starts decreasing to a fourth point at which the decrease ends, and the fourth point.

    Abstract: An optical measuring device includes a light source, a photodetector, a control circuit, and a signal processing circuit. The control circuit causes the light source to emit first and second light pulses with which a target of measurement is irradiated, causes the photodetector to detect a first portion of a first reflected light pulse in a first period having a first time length and output a first signal representing an amount of light of the first portion, and causes the photodetector to detect a second portion of a second reflected light pulse in a second period having a second time length and output a second signal representing an amount of light of the second portion. The signal processing circuit generates, based on a fluctuation in the first signal and a fluctuation in the second signal, information indicating a fluctuation in internal state of the target of measurement.

    Abstract: A biometric apparatus includes a first detector that detects and outputs a brain activity signal indicating a state of brain activity in a target person, and a signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit acquires the brain activity signal, acquires a biological signal of the target person that is different from the brain activity signal, determines, based on the biological signal and the brain activity signal, whether a state of the target person is an awake state, a sleeping state, or an unconscious state, and generates and outputs a signal indicating the state of the target person.
