Abstract: A width of a core in an optical waveguide is decreased in accordance with a value of a predetermined equation, as a distance of a position of the core to the center position thereof is decreased. Consequently, a rectangular spectrum property having no ripple is obtained on a lower wavelength side in a reflection grating. In addition, the width of the core is changed at the position Z in the direction of light propagation, while a UV light is radiated to the core, so that a periodically striated distribution of refractive indices having an envelope which is changed in accordance with a value of ".vertline.sin(C.multidot.Z).vertline./.vertline.C.multidot.Z.vertline." is formed in the core of the optical waveguide, and a phase of a light to be propagated in the direction of the light propagation is shifted at the position Z as defined below by .pi.. Z=m.pi./C(m=. . . ,-3,-2,-1,1,2,3, . . ) Thus, a rectangular spectrum property is obtained in a low reflection grating.

Abstract: A cylinder-discriminating device for an internal combustion engine is provided. A reference timing signal is generated whenever the engine rotates through a predetermined rotational angle. A secondary-side sparking current produced in a particular cylinder or a particular cylinder group in response to an ignition timing signal generated in synchronism with generation of the reference timing signal is detected. Cylinder discrimination is carried out to discriminate between cylinders or between cylinder groups, based on the secondary-side sparking current detected. In another form, secondary-side sparking currents produced in respective cylinders or respective cylinder groups in response to an ignition timing signal generated in synchronism with generation of the reference timing signal are detected. Cylinder discrimination is carried out to discriminate between the cylinders or between the cylinder groups, based on the secondary-side sparking currents detected.

Abstract: A misfire-detecting system for an internal combustion engine detects a value of sparking voltage generated by the igniting device of the engine after generation of an ignition command signal, compares the value of the detected sparking voltage with a predetermined value, and determines whether or not a misfire has occurred in the engine, based upon the result of the comparison. The misfire-detecting system can discriminate between a misfire attributable to the fuel supply system of the engine and one attributable to the ignition system of the engine, from a detected peak value of the sparking voltage.
