摘要:
An electrical signal observing device has an optical signal as a probe for converting the voltage or current waveform to be measured into an optical intensity waveform. This optical intensity waveform is converted into a signal which can be used by a signal observation device. A continuous wave light source is used for generating an optical signal which is amplified by an optical amplifier having a gain controlled by the electrical signal to be measured. A photodetector detects light from the optical amplifier and generates an observation signal which is displayed by a display unit.

In a voltage detector using an electro-optic material whose refractive index is changed by a voltage developing in a selected area of an object under test, a light beam emitted from a light source is applied to a beam splitter, where it is split into a light beam advancing along a reference optical path and a light beam advancing along an optical path extended to an optical path length changing means made of the electro-optic material, and the light beams are returned from the reference optical path and the optical path length changing means after reflection to the beam splitter, where they are caused to interference with each other to provide an output light beam which is applied to a detector. The efficiency of light beam utilization is improved, and the voltage developing in the selected area of the object can be detected with high accuracy.
摘要:
A voltage detector detects a voltage developing in a selected area of an object such as an integrated circuit by utilizing an electro-optic material equipped in an optical probe. A change in refractive index of the electro-optic material which is caused by the voltage in the object, is detected as a change of polarization of a light beam passing through the electro-optic material. In order to improve the detection sensitivity the voltage detector is equipped with an optical means for making light paths of an input light and an output light different from each other.

The optical apparatus includes first and second deflection members, a mask, a pumping light source, and a controller. The first and second deflection members are formed of nonlinear optical material whose refractive index is changed upon light radiation. The mask is arranged on an optical path extending from a front side of the first deflection member to a rear side of a second deflection member. The mask has a predetermined transmission pattern. The pumping light source radiates first and second beams on predetermined regions of the first and second deflection members. This changes the refractive indices of the predetermined regions to bend the optical path. The controller variably controls the intensity of the first and second beams.

The light source includes a laser driving unit for driving the laser source to output the pulsed laser beam while the intensity of the pulsed laser beam is stabilized. A chirp compensator is also included to compensate for a chirp in the pulsed laser beam. A wavelength selector is used to extract light having a desired wavelength from the pulsed laser beam, thereby obtaining a pulsed laser beam having an ultrashort pulse width and a desired narrow spectral band width.

摘要:
A light pulse from an ultrashort pulse light source 11 is split by a beam splitter 12 and guided, to a detection medium 4, as an excitation pulse and probe pulse having respective predetermined linearly polarized states by an excitation optical system 2 and probe optical system 3, respectively. A light track region which is generated in the detection medium 4 by incidence of the excitation pulse, and in which the refractive index is changed by a nonlinear optical effect, is irradiated with the probe pulse. Of components which have passed through the detection medium 4, a probe pulse component whose polarized state has changed through the light track region is detected by a camera 53 via an analyzer 51 in a photodetection part 5. This realizes a light track observation apparatus capable of directly observing the light track of an excitation pulse.
摘要:
A semiconductor light amplifier is driven by a drive device, and selectively amplifies one of a TM mode component and a TE mode component of input light. For example, TE mode light is selectively amplified by making thickness of the active layer of the semiconductor light amplifier not more than 0.05 .mu.m, or by tilting at least one of the entrance and exit faces of the semiconductor light amplifier by 10 to 16 degrees. An another type of light amplifying polarizer, input signal light and excitation light are combined by a half mirror or an optical coupler, and combined light is input to a rare-earth-element doped, polarization maintaining optical fiber.
