An optical multiplexer/demultiplexer including an arrayed waveguide grating having a plurality of waveguides and formed at its both end with an input-side slab waveguide and an output-side slab waveguide. A reference input waveguide and correction input waveguides are provided on the input end face of the input-side slab waveguide and a plurality of output waveguides are connected to the output end face of the output-side slab waveguide. The correction input waveguide has an output end face thereof placed apart by a distance from the input end face of the input-side slab waveguide in the lengthwise direction of the slab waveguide and has an acute angle to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of this waveguide, thus permitting an optical signal to be input at a position apart from a light-incident position for the reference input waveguide by a distance shorter than a waveguide disposition interval, thereby optimally correcting a deviation of the center wavelength of the optical signal.

The present invention relates to an optical wavelength multiplexing and dividing device of an array waveguide type diffraction lattice, which is capable of separating and picking up wavelength-multiplexed signals of various wavelengths, which are used in optical transmissions. An input side slab waveguide (3), a plurality of juxtaposed array waveguides (4), an output side slab waveguide (5) and a plurality of optical output waveguides (6) are connected, in order, to the outgoing sides of a plurality of optical input waveguides (2), thereby forming a waveguide pattern. The array waveguides (4) are formed so as to have lengths different from each other to cause the phases of individual lights to be deviated after propagating through the respective array type waveguides (4), wherein different lights as per wavelength are condensed at the incident ends (7) of optical output waveguides 6 by passing through the output side slab waveguides (5) and are outputted through the optical output waveguides (6). The incident ends (7a) of the optical output waveguides (6) are provided at a light condensing predicted position of lights of the respective wavelengths where the lights are predicted to be condensed through the output side slab waveguide (5), and the incident ends (7b) of the optical output waveguides (6) are provided at a light condensing prediction corrected position where the light condensing position is shifted with respect to the light condensing predicted position.

An optical multiplexer/demultiplexer 1 having a plurality of first waveguides 3, a first slab waveguide 4, an arrayed waveguide grating 5 having a plurality of waveguides, a second slab waveguide 6 and a plurality of second waveguides 7, the individual waveguides being connected in the above order. The ratio of a distance between the plurality of first waveguides 3 at a connecting portion with the first slab waveguide 4 to a distance between the plurality of second waveguides 7 at a connecting portion with the second slab waveguide 6 differs from a ratio of a focal length of the first slab waveguide 4 to a focal length of the second slab waveguide 6.

A rotary body bearing apparatus has a bearing supporting member, a radial bearing member, a bearing chamber formed in the bearing supporting member for holding the radial bearing member, a rotative shaft supported rotatively by the radial bearing member, and lubricating oil filling a bearing clearance between the rotative shaft and the radial bearing member. An air bubble restraint means restrains the occurrence of air bubbles generated in the lubricating oil by the rotation of the rotative shaft. Even when the rotative shaft rotates at the high speed of rotation, by the provision of the air bubble occurrence restraint means, the occurrence of air bubbles generated in the lubricating oil can be restrained, high accuracy rotation can be maintained and a rotation number fluctuation of the rotary body can be reduced.

A cabinet molded in resin has a grill portion molded in resin by using a predetermined metal mold and having a plurality of holes of small diameter defined in the vertical and horizontal directions. This cabinet is composed of a plurality of substantially straight-lined reinforcing ribs formed on the rear surface of the grill portion, wherein the reinforcing ribs are disposed with a predetermined angle with respect to the direction in which a resin supplied from a resin injection nozzle to the metal mold is flowed upon molding and the reinforcing ribs cross one another.

A motor has a stator with a base part and a hollow projection as well as a rotor with a shaft which extends into the hollow projection. A radial bearing is mounted between the shaft and the hollow projection. There may be a further radial bearing in the base part of the stator. The radial bearing, lubricated by magnetic fluid, is sealed between the shaft and the projection by a magnetic seal at the end of the hollow projection remote from the base part. The rotor has an annular part extending around the hollow projection, which supports permanent magnets forming an armature. Those permanent magnets interact with drive coils on the stator to cause rotation of the rotor about the axis of the shaft. There is also a magnetic thrust bearing between the annular part of the rotor and the projection of the stator. This magnetic thrust bearing is axially displaced relative to the magnetic seal towards the base part of the stator, to counteract the effect of the magnetic thrust bearing on the magnetic seal.
