摘要:
A laser module has an optical amplifier, a first etalon and a wavelength selectable mirror. The first etalon has wavelength peaks at a given wavelength interval in transmission characteristics and transmits a light from the optical amplifier. The wavelength peaks are tunable. The wavelength selectable mirror acts as an external mirror of an external cavity laser including the optical amplifier, and has a relatively high reflection intensity at a part of wavelength range in an effective gain range of the optical amplifier. The effective gain range of the optical amplifier includes more than one wavelength peak of the first etalon. A reflection bandwidth where the wavelength selectable mirror has a relatively high reflection intensity is less than twice of the wavelength interval of the wavelength peaks of the first etalon.

An ink jet printing apparatus and a print head recovery method are provided which effectively execute a preliminary ejection to eject ink not contributing to image printing from nozzle opening of the print head to maintain the ink ejection performance in good condition. The ink in the print head is heated to a first temperature, at which a first preliminary ejection is executed. Then, when the ink temperature falls to a second temperature, which is lower than the first temperature, a second preliminary ejection is executed.

A recording apparatus performs a recording operation with a recording head that includes a recording element having two types of discharge characteristics, and a memory holding k-bit information indicating a rank of the discharge characteristic of the recording element and j-bit information, where j and k has a relationship of k>j, indicating a difference from the k-bit information. The recording apparatus includes an acquiring unit to acquire the k-bit information and the j-bit information, a selection unit to select driving parameters of one of the two types of the recording elements based on the k-bit information, and select the driving parameters of the other of the two types of the recording elements based on the k-bit information and the j-bit information, and a control unit to control a driving of the recording head based on the driving parameters selected by the selection unit.

A testing method of a wavelength-tunable laser having a resonator including wavelength selection portions having wavelength property different from each other includes a first step of controlling the wavelength-tunable laser so as to oscillate at a given wavelength according to an initial setting value, a second step of tuning the wavelength property of the wavelength selection portions and detecting discontinuity point of gain-condition-changing of the wavelength-tunable laser, and a third step of obtaining a stable operating point of the wavelength selection portion according to a limiting point of an oscillation condition at the given wavelength, the limiting point being a point when the discontinuity point is detected.

Provided is an optical component for optical communication which is capable of suitably accepting a request to reduce a size, resisting a thermal expansion coefficient difference between constituent elements, and adjusting incident and exit modes relative to an end of an optical fiber to thereby constantly attain optical characteristics which correspond to the request. The optical component includes a fiber holding member (3) holding an optical fiber (2), and a lens (4) which is located on an optical path extending from an end of the optical fiber (2) and attached to the fiber holding member (3). A flat portion (4a) formed in a rear end of the lens (4) is bonded to be fixed to a flat portion (6a) of an end of the fiber holding member (3) such that the flat portion (4a) of the lens (4) is opposed to the end of the optical fiber (2). A gap is provided between the flat portion (4a) of the lens (4) and the end (2a) of the optical fiber (2).

An ink-jet recording device is capable of correcting a recording position due to a leaning of a printing head and correcting of driving timing between multiple printing heads. Each nozzle row of a printing head is classified into multiple nozzle groups, and the driving timing of the nozzle groups other than the nozzle group serving as a reference of correction of the multiple nozzle groups is adjustable to correct for any leaning of the printing head. Moreover, in the event of performing the driving timing between printing heads, the driving timing of a non-reference printing head is adjustable relative to a reference printing head employed for leaning correction of multiple printing heads.

摘要:
A radiography order information request to request a radiography order information of an information system is transmitted to the information system through a network. Radiography order information corresponding to the radiography order information request is received from the information system through the network. The received radiography order information is stored. Connection to the network is sensed. On the basis of the sensing result, the radiography order information corresponding to the radiography order information request is obtained.
