Abstract:
A laser light flux is divided and synthesized so that its light intensity distribution is changed from a Gaussian distribution to a non-Gaussian distribution. When a laser light flux having a Gaussian distribution is irradiated onto a dividing prism, it is divided into a left part and a right part which are refracted right and left inversely from each other. When the right and left parts are incident on a synthesizing prism, they are refracted again and travel to be overlapped with each other on a recording medium. The light intensity distribution on a segment at the apex of the synthesizing prism is weaker at the central part and stronger at the peripheral part. This is because the light fluxes resulting from the division are inverted in their position so that the central part of the Gaussian distribution is separated left and right while the peripheral part with a weaker light intensity is centered.

Abstract:
A solid-state video camera employing a plurality of image sensing means in the form of charge coupled device chips which are arranged in such a manner that the video image cast on respective chips are displaced by distance equal to .tau.H/N where .tau..sub.H is the reciprocal of the image sampling frequency, also referred to as the alignment pitch of the picture elements in the horizontal direction and N is the number of charge coupled chips. After converting the images into electrical signals, read-out timings of given picture elements of respective chips are shifted in time in accordance with the shift in distance between the images on the respective chips prior to mixing the output signals. In this way a video output signal having a wide-band width is obtained. In addition, color video information is possible by the use of color filters which may be disposed in front of the respective charge coupled chips.

Abstract:
A visual field examination system measures the visual field of an eye. Quantitative information of a 3D retinal layer structure is acquired by detecting a range in which a peak of a retinal reflectance distribution obtained by OCT scanning is lost. A position of the fovea of the eye fundus is identified based on the acquired information. A location of a range in which the peak of the retinal reflectance distribution is lost is specified in a 2D fundus image based on the position of the fovea, and the specified location is marked on a region of the 2D fundus image. A position of the marked region is detected, and a visual inspection field region is generated based on the detection. Visual field examination points of the visual inspection field region are presented to the eye through a visual field dome for carrying out visual field examination of the eye.
