摘要:
OCT measuring that uses an optical fiber and is capable of preventing degradation in the resolution due to the wavelength dispersion of the optical fiber. For controlling the optical path length of the reference light in the OCT measuring, the following are provided: a diffraction grating element for dispersing the reference light; a collimator lens for collimating the dispersed reference light; and a reflection mirror for reflecting the reference light transmitted through the collimator lens back to the collimator lens and inputting to the diffraction grating element. The reflection mirror pivots on a position offset from the optical axis of the collimator lens. The diffraction grating element is tilted with respect to the optical axis of the collimator lens to compensate for the wavelength dispersion of the optical fiber.

A confocal microscope apparatus capable of rapidly obtaining a tomographic image using OCT measuring. The confocal microscope apparatus for obtaining a tomographic image of a measuring object includes a light modulating section that modulates the frequency of the reference light. The light modulating section includes: a diffraction grating element for dispersing the reference light; a collimator lens for collimating the reference light dispersed by the diffraction grating element; and a reflection mirror for reflecting the reference light transmitted through the collimator lens back to the collimator lens and inputting to the diffraction grating element. The reflection mirror is pivoted on a position which is offset from the optical axis of the collimator lens.

Low coherence light having a central wavelength λc of 1.1 μm and a full width at half maximum spectrum Δλ of 90 nm is emitted. The low coherence light has wavelength properties suited for the light absorbing properties, the diffusion properties, and the dispersion properties of living tissue. A light dividing means divides the low coherence light into a measuring light beam, which is irradiated onto a measurement target via an optical probe, and a reference light beam that propagates toward an optical path length adjusting means. A multiplexing means multiplexes a reflected light beam, which is the measuring light beam reflected at a predetermined depth of the measurement target, and the reference light beam, to form coherent light. A coherent light detecting means detects the optical intensity of the multiplexed coherent light. An image obtaining means performs image processes, and displays an optical tomographic image on a display apparatus.

A voltage detecting apparatus for a combination battery includes a multiplexer type flying capacitor voltage detecting circuit, a synchronous control type A/D converter, and a battery controller. The battery controller has a timing table to regulate generation timings of a switching control signal, an activation signal, and a transfer command signal on a common time axis. The timing control is carried out by outputting the switching control signal, the activation signal, and the transfer command signal to the flying capacitor voltage detecting circuit, the A/D converter, and the battery controller at the timing regulated in the timing table and according to an order memorized in the timing table.

When handover control is performed in a wireless communication system in which a plurality of base stations and a plurality of mobile stations communicate wirelessly, the necessary radio resources are secured beforehand in a handover-destination radio base station before handover is performed, and handover is executed thereafter. In order to secure the radio resources, one or more mobile stations that are already communicating via the handover-destination base station are forcibly handed over to another radio base station, whereby the radio resources of the handover-destination radio base station are secured. This is followed by executing handover.

The invention provides a computer-generated hologram which can be viewed in white at the desired viewing region and a reflective liquid crystal display using the same as a reflector. The computer-generated hologram H is designed to diffuse light having a given reference wavelength &lgr;STD and incident thereon at a given angle of incidence &thgr; in a specific angle range. In a range of wavelengths &lgr;MIN to &lgr;MAX including the reference wavelength &lgr;STD wherein zero-order transmission light or zero-order reflection light of incident light on the computer-generated hologram at a given angle of incidence is seen in white by additive color mixing, the maximum diffraction angle &bgr;2MIN of incident light of the minimum wavelength &lgr;MIN in the wavelength range and incident at the angle of incidence &thgr; is larger than the minimum diffraction angle &bgr;1MAX of incident light of the maximum wavelength &lgr;MAX in the wavelength range and incident at said angle of incidence &thgr;.

In a mobile communication apparatus having a codec which codes first voice data into second voice data and decodes the second voice data into the first voice data, a memory in which the second voice data should be recorded and a silent data generating unit which generates silent data, the second voice data is successively recorded in the memory. While the second data is being recorded, the silent data is recorded in the memory as a substitute for the second voice data which is in a first state. The first state is a state in which the second voice data may be noise data.
