A variable-optical-delay apparatus with a single wavelength converter and optical loop path has an optical modulator able to adjust the delay time according to the input optical signal. The variable-optical-delay apparatus has an optical input section and an optical output section, an optical filter and a wavelength shifter able to adjust an amount by which a wavelength of an input optical signal is shifted disposed on an optical path extending from the input section to the output section. The input optical signal is output from the output section after passing the wavelength shifter a number of times that is determined according to the input optical signal. A resonant type optical modulator can be used that is set between filters, or set between a filter and a reflector. Part of an optical path from the input section to the output section is in the form of an optical loop, an optical modulator is provided on the optical loop.

A transmission method with compensation for fading distortion or frequency offset distortion in digital communications using pilot signals, comprises the steps of: receiving modulated radiofrequency signals, demodulating the digital signals carried by said radiofrequency signals, extracting pilot signals from the received radiofrequency signals or demodulated digital signals, finding a spectrum of the extracted pilot signals, finding fading components or frequency-offset components from said spectrum, and using one of these components to compensate the received radiofrequency signal or estimate the original digital signal from the demodulated digital signals.

A diode-pumped solid-state laser oscillator optically pumps a laser medium. The oscillator has at least one pumping light source that emits light in a predetermined wavelength band, and a laser medium that absorbs light in the wavelength band. In the wavelength band, the optical absorption index of the laser medium increases with an increase in wavelength, and the optical radiation energy of the light source decreases with an increase in wavelength. Thus, with respect to wavelength changes, an increase in the optical absorption index is cancelled out by a decrease in the radiation energy, making the stability of the laser output less dependent on the temperature of the optical pumping medium or laser medium.

A phase modulation method and apparatus use a plurality of phase modulators disposed in series to phase-modulate light from a source laser. Modulation by the phase modulators is used to produce phase shifts in the optical signal, with modulation by the first phase modulator producing phase shifts of 0 degrees or 2null degrees, and modulation by the n-th phase modulator producing phase shifts of 0 degrees or 2nnullnull degrees. Here, null degrees is a predetermined phase level and n is an integer than two and not more than the number of phase modulators. The method is also used to detect and control transmission errors.

A low-noise optical frequency converter uses a predetermined microwave electric signal to modulate an input light wave and output a light wave that includes a first-order upper-sideband or lower-sideband and a third-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband. The frequency converter modulates a light wave identical to the input light wave with a signal having a frequency that is three times that of the microwave signal, to form a first light wave having a first-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband. The first light wave is mixed with a second light wave having a first-order upper-sideband or lower-sideband and a third-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband, with a phase of the third-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband reversed to a phase of the first light wave, thereby suppressing third-order sidebands.

A method for controlling a hyper-redundant manipulator including a plurality of links coupled by joints by determining the shape the manipulator takes when the end of the manipulator is moved to a target position, includes modeling each link as an elastic body having a natural length and a suitable modulus of elasticity that enables the elastic body to stretch and contract, simulating the overall shape of the manipulator when the end has been moved to the target position with the joints locked at a freezed angle and the joints are unlocked to return each link to its natural length, and moving the manipulator end to the target position by controlling each joint angle to match the simulation outcome.

A method for acquiring azimuth information is provided in which first and second planar patch antennas (11a, 11b) are disposed so that their sky coverage areas partially overlap to form a common area (2), thereby dividing the antenna sky coverage area into a first area (1), third area (3) and common second area 2, and an azimuth is limited utilizing azimuths acquired in the respective areas and the angle between the two antennas. As a result, azimuth limitation information can be effectively acquired even at a location where the sky is severely blocked and satellite information can be adequately acquired only at a small range of sky visibility.
