摘要:
A laser oscillator which is capable of providing a circularly polarized laser beam by an external optical system having a brief configuration. A folding section of a folded-type resonator (10) comprises reflecting mirrors (4a), (4b) and (4c). The reflecting mirror (4a) is inclined at an angle of 45.degree. to an optical axis of an excitation section (3a), and the reflecting mirror (4c) is inclined at an angle of 45.degree. to an optical axis of an excitation section (3b). The reflecting mirror (4b) is horizontally arranged so that the center of the mirror is positioned at the vertex of an isosceles right triangle with respect to the reflecting mirrors (4a) and (4c). Thus, an S polarized-light component of a laser beam from the excitation section (3b) is reflected by the reflecting mirror (4c) toward the reflecting mirror (4b). Further, a P polarized-light component of the laser beam is reflected by the reflecting mirror (4b) to the reflecting mirror (4a), and the S polarized-light component is reflected by the reflecting mirror (4a), thus a laser beam having a linearly polarized-light component as shown by an arrow (11) is outputted from the folded-type resonator (10). Accordingly, only a 1/4 wave-length mirror is used on the outside of the folded-type resonator (10); nevertheless a circularly polarized laser beam can be provided simply.

A high-frequency discharge pumping laser device is provided, applying a high-frequency voltage to a laser tube to produce laser oscillation. The high-frequency discharge pumping laser device comprises a high-frequency power supply for generating the high-frequency voltage, and a matching circuit for gaining impedance matching between the high-frequency power supply and the laser tube. The matching circuit has a reactance having an intermediate point connected to ground of a high-frequency circuit. This arrangement reduces variations or fluctuations of the laser output due to a mutual current and a mutual impedance between discharge tube segments.

A silent discharge type laser device which comprises a detector for detecting the amount of electric charges passed between electrodes and controlling means for controlling an output current or voltage of a power supply so that a charge amount detected by the detector is equal to a target level, thereby keeping the passage charge amount always constant.
摘要:
A device for driving the axial movement of a photographic lens barrel of a camera including a distance adjusting ring having a number of cam portions of similar shape arranged successively on the front end of the ring to cooperate with a follower on the barrel, a ratchet mechanism for turning the ring from the initial or first to the terminal or second position of each cam portion, a rotor arranged in a magnetic field to drive the ratchet mechanism, and a circuit for controlling the current supply to the rotor. After an exposure has been completed, as the ring is further turned in the same direction, when the terminal end of the cam portion moves away from the follower, the lens barrel is set in the initial position of the next cam portion. The rotor control circuit is provided with a switch arranged to open after the lens barrel has moved some distance from the initial position, whereby the circuit is rendered responsive to the closure of the switch for stopping the current supply to the rotor.

It is an object to provide an image sensing apparatus which can shorten the time required for the creation of correction data by reducing the amount of data used for the creation of correction data. In order to achieve the above object, an image sensing apparatus according to this invention includes a plurality of pixels, a first calculating unit which creates correction data by performing computation using signals which are acquired by image sensing in an unexposed state and smaller in number than said plurality of pixels, and a second calculating unit which corrects image data of the plurality of pixels, acquired by image sensing in an exposed state, by using the correction data.

摘要:
A laser-machining device (1) for machining a workpiece (W) by radiating it with the laser beam output from a nozzle (42) of a laser oscillator (31) is disclosed. A gap amount sensor (43) detects the gap amount between the workpiece and the nozzle. An approach unit (12, 41) causes the nozzle to approach the workpiece to a position suitable for the laser machining. The approach unit performs a first approach operation (12a) for making the nozzle approach the workpiece using the gap amount detected by the gap amount sensor until the gap amount comes to assume a predetermined value, and a second approach operation (12b), after the first approach operation, for causing the nozzle to approach the workpiece until the complete approach without using the gap amount detected by the gap amount sensor. As a result, the required time is shorter and a stable piercing process can be executed.
