摘要:
A focusing controlling device is for a camera having a photographing lens and an imaging surface. The focusing controlling device includes a focus adjuster that adjusts a focus position of the photographing lens based on field curvature data. The field curvature data indicates a field curvature ratio which is a ratio of a distance between an image point of light transmitted through the photographing lens and the imaging surface to a focal distance of the photographing lens, the field curvature data being set for a partial area of the imaging surface as an average value of the field curvature ratios for the partial area.

A digital single-lens reflex camera includes a lens unit and a camera body. The lens unit has a photographing lens and an identification data memory for storing identification data to identify the photographing lens. The camera body, to which the lens unit is detachably attached, has an imaging device which receives light transmitted through the photographing lens to generate an image corresponding to a subject, a lens data memory for storing lens data that indicates the shading characteristics of the photographing lens, a lens data reader that reads the lens data based on the identification data, and an image corrector that corrects an error in the image of the subject caused by shading, based on the lens data read by the lens data reader and imaging device data that indicates the shading characteristics of the imaging device.

An optical fiber includes an entrance face that is optically coupleable with a device for transmitting a light beam through the optical fiber. The entrance face includes a core region and a cladding region surrounding the core region. The cladding region is at least partially covered with a coating, which is made of metal, for example. That is, the coating is formed over a whole area of the cladding region or the coating is formed on an area of the cladding region defined in a vicinity of the core region. The coating has a mirror surface to increase the reflectivity thereof and enhances the reflectivity of the entrance face.

A liquid crystal light valve includes a semiconductor substrate having a region for a plurality of switching elements formed in a matrix form. A first metal layer is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate through an insulating layer and divided into a plurality of parts by first slits. A second metal layer is formed on the first metal layer through another insulating layer and divided into a plurality of parts by second slits. A third metal layer is formed on the second metal layer through still another insulating layer and divided into a plurality of parts by third slits. An opposite substrate has an opposite electrode on a surface thereof, disposed so as to be opposite to said third metal layer through an interval on the opposite electrode side. Liquid crystal fills the interval between said opposite electrode and the third metal layer.
摘要:
An electric photograph system for improving non-linearities of an exposing light intensity and an operating current at a low exposing level when performing analog printing operation. A range (saturable absorber) having a saturable absorbing characteristic is provided in a part of an optical path including a semiconductor laser as light source to improve the non-linearity of the operating current when the light intensity is weak. The saturable absorber may be made in the form of a non current injected area provided in a part of the semiconductor laser as the light source or a thin film layer provided partly in films coated on a facet of the semiconductor laser. Due to the provision of the saturable absorber, the light output power characteristic can exhibit its linearity in its low optical power range, the size of a printing dot can be arithmetically changed, and thus fine laser printing can be realized.

An optical disc drive using either one of a first disc (e.g., DVD) and a second disc (e.g., CD), is provided with a first laser diode that emits a shorter wavelength beam, a second laser diode that emits a longer wavelength beam, an objective lens, and a driving unit that holds and rotates the optical disc. The optical axis of the objective lens is inclined relative to a normal to the optical disc. The first laser diode is located at a first position so that the coma, which is caused when the first laser beam is converged on a data recording surface of the first disc, is minimized, and the second laser diode is located at a second position so that the coma, which is caused when the second laser beam is converged on a data recording surface of the second disc, is minimized.

High-grade three-dimensional images can be observed without a bright image of an exit end of an image projector superposed on the three-dimensional images. In a method of reproducing three-dimensional images by a three-dimensional image-reproducing device provided with an image projector and a directional reflective screen for collecting light from the image projector toward a specific position in a horizontal direction and for diffusing the light in a vertical direction, the directional reflective screen and the image projector are positioned with respect to the observer observing the three-dimensional images such that the observer is outside a region traversed by a portion of light rays which enter the directional reflective screen from the image projector, then are reflected by a surface of the directional reflective screen incapable of contributing to the reproduction of the three-dimensional images, and form a mirror image or a conjugate image of the image projector.
