摘要:
An optical-path-switching apparatus according to the present invention includes a reducing optical system capable of guiding signal light and control light along the direction of gravity into a thermal-lens-forming optical element having an incidence plane positioned to be perpendicular to the direction of gravity in such a way as to differentiate respective convergence points in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The apparatus further includes a light-receiving unit configured to converge or condense straight-traveling signal light in the absence of irradiation with the control light and signal light whose optical path has been switched due to irradiation with the control light using the same optical element. Further, the apparatus includes a wedge-type prism provided at a passing position of the optical-path-switched signal light to increase the distance between the optical axis of the optical-path-changed signal light and the optical axis of the straight-traveling signal light.

摘要:
Colored fine particulate resins can each be produced by bringing a colored resin, which comprises a thermally fusible resin and a colorant evenly distributed in the thermally fusible resin, into a molten state; forming the colored resin, which is in the molten state, into droplet-shaped fine particles in a non-dissolving medium which does not dissolve the colored resin; and then cooling and solidifying the droplet-shaped fine particles. The colored fine particulate resins are useful in image recording materials, printing materials and paints. Articles can be colored with the image recording materials, printing materials or paints.

A composite pigment of a bluish green color comprises copper phthalocyanine and aluminum phthalocyanine which are preferably in the form of a mixture or solid solution. The composite pigment can be produced by mixing copper phthalocyanine and aluminum phthalocyanine into a mixture and then converting said mixture into a pigment form. A coloring composition comprises at least a resin and a pigment which comprises copper phthalocyanine and aluminum phthalocyanine. The coloring composition can be produced by mixing copper phthalocyanine and aluminum phthalocyanine which have been independently comminuted, into a composite pigment, and then kneading the pigment and a resin such that the pigment is dispersed in the resin. An image recording substance is produced using the coloring composition. The image recording substance can be a dry developer of a fine powder form or a wet developer of a liquid form, an ink-jet ink, or a thermal transfer ink ribbon with the coloring composition coated on a film-shaped or sheet-shaped base material.

摘要:
The present invention provides a method of controlling light and an apparatus of controlling light capable of extracting sufficiently large and speedy optical responses from the photoresponsive photoelement with a high reproducibility, wherein the control light is emitted from the light source 1, and the signal light from the light source 2. The control light and signal light are converged by the converging lens 7, and illuminated to the film photoelement 8 filled in with the photoresponsive composition. Via the collimate lens 9 and the band-pass filter 20, only the signal light is detected with the photodetector 22. By turning the control light on and off, the transmittance and/or refractive index of the signal light are reversibly increased or decreased, realizing the modulation of photointencity. By setting the numerical aperture of the collimate lens at the value essentially smaller than the numerical aperture of the collimate lens, sufficiently large and speedy optical responses can be extracted from the photoelement comprised of photoresponsive composition containing dye.
