摘要:
A linearly polarized light beam emitted from a first coherent light source is focused, as a primary beam, onto a preparation via an objective lens. A subsidiary beam emitted from a second coherent light source is a linearly polarized light beam having a plane of polarization perpendicular to that of the primary beam. The subsidiary beam is focused onto the above preparation as a double-humped beam having a center in the same position as that of the primary beam. The principal portion of the subsidiary beam is equal in size to that of the primary beam. The preparation is scanned with the two beams being superimposed on each other. After transmitted by the preparation, the two beams are separated into the primary beam and the subsidiary beam again upon passing through a second polarizing beam splitter so that they are detected individually by first and second optical detectors. Output signals from the first and second optical detectors are calculated by a differential calculator and displayed on a display unit via a second control means.
摘要:
A superresolution scanning optical device has image forming means for forming the image of light from a coherent light source unit in the form of a fine spot on a conjugate face through an image forming optical system, and scanning means for scanning the fine spot formed on the conjugate face. The coherent light source unit has first and second light sources of which phases are reverse to each other. The first and second light sources have the relationship that the main lobe of the image of the second light source on the conjugate face is superposed on the lateral sides of the main lobe of the image of the first light source on the conjugate face.
