摘要:
A light source apparatus includes a light source unit that supplies light having a first wavelength, a wavelength conversion element that converts the light having the first wavelength into the light having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, and a wavelength separator that separates the first-wavelength light from the second-wavelength light. The wavelength separator directs the second-wavelength light from the wavelength conversion element in the exit direction and the first-wavelength light from the wavelength conversion element in a direction other than the exit direction.

A light source unit includes: a light source part that supplies light; an optical element that changes an optical path of the light from the light source part; and a wavelength conversion element that converts a wavelength of the light from the optical element. The optical element is movable, and the optical path of the light entering the wavelength conversion element from the light source part is shifted by moving the optical element.

A light source device includes a plurality of first laser emission units and a plurality of second laser emission units for emitting light. The plurality of first laser emission units and the plurality of second laser emission units are disposed on a flat surface. The first laser emission units and the second laser emission units are composed so that a drive for light emission is sequentially switched. Each of the second laser emission units is disposed between the adjoining first laser emission units.

A gas laser apparatus including a laser oscillating section including a blower forcibly circulating a medium gas in a medium circuit, and a blower monitoring section monitoring a maintenance state of the blower. The blower includes a lubricant storage chamber storing a lubricant, and a lubricant monitoring chamber connected to the lubricant storage chamber to ensure fluidic communication therebetween at a position lower than an oil level of a lubricant having a predetermined appropriate volume and stored in the lubricant storage chamber. The blower monitoring section includes a lubricant detecting section detecting that a lubricant stored in the lubricant storage chamber of the blower flows into the lubricant monitoring chamber and at least a part of the lubricant is present in the lubricant monitoring chamber, as a result of internal-pressure change in the lubricant storage chamber, and a lubricant-change judging section monitoring whether the lubricant detecting section detects a presence of the lubricant in the lubricant monitoring chamber, before the laser oscillating section is activated, and judging that, when the lubricant detecting section does not detect the presence, the lubricant stored in the lubricant storage chamber is in a state immediately after a lubricant change.

In an laser oscillator (100), a blower (10, 20, 120) for circulating a laser medium between an electric discharge tube (102) and a circulating passage (104) includes: a casing (12) having a suction port (12a) and an exhaust port (12b); and a blade (18) pivotally supported in the casing (12) so that the blade (18) can face the suction port (12a) and the exhaust port (12b). The blade (18) is formed into a shape in which a diameter of the blade (18) is different at a position on a cross section perpendicular to a rotary central line (O), and a gap (Go) between a portion, in which a diameter of the blade (18) is relatively large, and the casing is larger than a gap (Gi) between a portion, in which a diameter of the blade (18) is relatively small, and the casing. Due to the foregoing, a highly reliable blower used for a laser oscillator, the reduction of the blower efficiency of which is suppressed to be as small as possible, can be provided.

In a distance-measuring device that measures individual distances to plural distance-measured regions, a selection circuit selects at least one first measured distance value by excluding second measured distance values that are not smaller than a predetermined distance value from the individually measured distance values to the plural distance measured regions. An auto-focusing data value is computed in accordance with the selected first measured distance values.

A scanning probe microscope comprises scanning control means for controlling raster scanning of an XYZ translator, and displacement detection means for detecting amount of displacement of the XYZ translator, and is configured so that of the two raster scanning axes, only displacement of the XYZ translator along a low frequency scanning axis is feedback controlled, displacement of the XYZ translator along a high frequency scanning axis is made larger than a region to be observed, and sampling of an amount of displacement of the XYZ translator starts at the same time as a relative position of a probe enters into the observation region.

This invention has as its object to provide a distance measurement apparatus which can relatively easily control the clock generation timing and can prevent dark currents generated by accumulation units from being unbalanced between the ON and OFF states of a light-projection operation even when the accumulation apparatus for temporarily holding charges are arranged between a sensor array and a charge transfer apparatus. In order to achieve this object, a distance measurement apparatus, which projects a beam spot onto an object to be measured, a distance to which is to be measured, and performs triangulation by receiving light reflected by the object to be measured, includes light-projection apparatus for projecting the beam spot onto the object to be measured, a sensor array including an array of a plurality of sensors for receiving and photoelectrically converting the light reflected by the object to be measured, integration apparatus for integrating output charges from the sensors of the sensor array, charge transfer apparatus for transferring the charges integrated by the integration apparatus, at least a portion of the charge transfer apparatus being coupled in a ring shape, and a pair of charge accumulation apparatus, arranged in parallel between the integral apparatus and the charge transfer apparatus, for temporarily storing the charges transferred from the integration apparatus to the charge transfer apparatus.

In a camera, whether a film has been partially exposed or not is checked, and if the check fails, a use status on a film cartridge is rotated to an optimum position such as a position indicating an exposed status. Thus, double exposure of the film is prevented.
