    摘要: The scanning apparatus includes a control unit that controls an emission state of a light source to perform switching between first and a second emission states, wherein as a signal according to a light amount, an output unit outputs a first value when light received by the output unit has a first light amount and outputs a second value when the light received by the output unit has a second light amount larger than the first light amount, and the control unit performs switching from the first emission state to the second emission state when an output time period of a signal of the second value corresponding to the second light amount is equal to or more than a predetermined time period.

    摘要: Presented is a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for selectively switching optical paths. The apparatus includes a directing mirror for redirecting light from an incoming path to one of a plurality of input paths and redirecting the light from one of a plurality of output paths to an outgoing path, and a plurality of input mirrors, each one of the plurality of input mirrors operable for redirecting the light from one of the plurality of input paths to one of a plurality of transition paths. The apparatus includes a plurality of light modifying elements, each one of the light modifying elements in a corresponding transition path and a plurality of output mirrors, each one of the plurality of output mirrors operable for redirecting the light from one of the plurality of transition paths to one of a plurality of output paths.
