A phase difference detecting device includes a splitter for splitting laser beams into a first group which will travel along a first path and a second group which will travel along a second path, a beam selection/extraction unit for selecting, as reference light, one beam from the first group to allow it to pass therethrough, a path length changing unit for changing the length of the first path, a combining unit for combining the reference light and beams which construct the second group to produce interference light, and a detector for detecting the intensity of the interference light. The device changes the length of the first path using the path length changing unit to detect a path length which maximizes the intensity of the interference light for each of the beams which construct the second group, and determines a phase difference among the beams from the detected path length.

Provided are a small-sized, low-cost, and easy-to-use laser optical path length difference detecting device, a laser optical path length difference detecting device, and a coherent optical coupling device. The laser optical path length difference detecting device detects an optical path length difference between propagation paths of a first laser beam (1) and a second laser beam (2), which are mutually coherent when the beams are propagated through two arbitrary optical paths of a plurality of laser beam optical paths. The laser optical path length difference detecting device is provided with an optical path length difference variable means (4) for changing the optical path length difference between the first laser beam (1) and the second laser beam (2), a wavefront inclination generating means (5) for inclining a wavefront of at least one of the first laser beam (1) and the second laser beam (2), and a two-dimensional detector (6) for detecting the interference light intensity distribution of the first laser beam (1) and the second laser beam (2) which have passed through the wavefront inclination generating means.

摘要:
A catalytic combustor utilizes radioactive heat with a high efficiency, has a radiation wavelength distribution rich in visible ray components, and is excellent in complete combustibility and visual confirmability even in a standby combustion condition. The present invention forms a thin film coat of metal or metal oxide which transmits rays having short wavelengths and reflects rays having long wavelengths on a surface of a transmission window disposed opposite to an upstream surface of a catalyst body. The catalyst body is composed of a metal wire structure having a high aperture ratio and is disposed in a combustion chamber. Furthermore, an auxiliary catalyst body which has a high aperture ratio and a small capacity is disposed in the vicinity of a mixed gas injection port at a location in contact with the mixed gas when the flow rate of the mixed gas is less than a predetermined value. Moreover, a freely openable/closable cover having reflectivity to heat rays is disposed in the vicinity of an outside surface of the transmission window. An air flow path is formed between the transmission window and a second transmission window. Also a thin film coat reflecting radioactive heat rays having long wavelengths is disposed on an inside surface of the second transmission window.
