    摘要: An optical modulation element is disclosed which has, on a substrate directly or through a lower clad layer, an optical waveguide layer of a low impurity concentration, an upper clad layer of a refractive index smaller than that of the optical waveguide layer, and electrodes, and in which light of a constant intensity incident on a light incident end face of the optical waveguide layer is intensity-modulated by changing the absorption coefficient of the optical waveguide layer by means of an electric field applied thereto across the electrodes so that the thus modulated light is emitted from a light emitting end face of the optical waveguide layer. In accordance with the present invention, a plurality of low impurity concentration regions and a plurality of high impurity concentration regions are disposed alternately with each other in contact with at least one of the lower and upper clad layers in the direction of travel of light in such a manner that the distribution density of the plurality of high impurity concentration regions increases in the direction of travel of light.

    摘要: An optical modulation device is disclosed in which a difference between the photon energy of incident light and the band-gap energy of the modulation waveguide layer is set to a value greater than 50 meV to thereby suppress the degradation of the modulation voltage and the modulation band width which is caused by an increase in the intensity of incident light and in that the optical modulation device is formed in a predetermined length to thereby decrease the modulation voltage. The energy gap of the optical waveguide layer of the optical modulation device is varied continuously or discontinuously in the direction of its thickness to provide a constant absorption coefficient thickwise of the optical waveguide layer so that the electric field intensity distribution in the optical waveguide layer is compensated for, by which overlap of the light distribution and the absorption coefficient is increased so as to decrease the modulation voltage and broaden the modulation band by the reduction of the length of the device. The composition, thickness and stripe width of the optical waveguide layer are changed so that its absorption coefficient increases from the light receiving end face of the optical waveguide layer toward its light emitting end face, thereby making the number of carriers absorbed per unit length substantially constant in the direction of travel of light.

    摘要: An image pickup apparatus includes a system controller and a face detector, and can register face data of a photographer for a self-timer shooting mode in advance. In the self-timer shooting mode, the face detector extracts face data of people in a subject field from an image signal. When the system controller determines, on the basis of the extracted face data and the registered face data, that the photographer can be detected, the apparatus starts countdown for automatic shooting. Consequently, the apparatus can pick up an image of the photographer without fail, and the photographer can securely strike a pose within the countdown period of time. Furthermore, the apparatus can determine the countdown period of time optionally, thereby enabling the self-timer shooting to be executed depending on the personality of the photographer.
