摘要： An optical waveguide device formed by a material showing anisotropy for refraction index and an optical instrument using the same device. The device comprises an electro-optic single crystal substrate on which are formed a first core portion higher in refractive index than the substrate with respect to both ordinary and extraordinary rays and a second core portion higher in refractive index than the substrate with respect to extraordinary rays pnly whereby the first core portion forms a single-moded waveguide for ordinary rays, and the overlapping region of the first and second core portions forms a double-moded waveguide for extraordinary rays. This optical waveguide device is used in place of a pinhole elementin an optical system of a confocal scanning optical microscopeso as to guide illuminating light to an object to be detected and to guide the reflected light from the object into a detector. This microscope includes a polarization conversion element for converting the polarizing direction of the illuminating light to one different from that of reflected light. The optical waveguide device functions as a single-moded waveguide for the illuminating light and as a double-moded waveguide for the reflected light.

摘要： A confocal laser scanning differential interference microscope includes an illumination optical system for radiating a laser light spot onto an object, a focusing optical system for focusing light reflected by the object onto a detection surface, a detection optical system for detecting the reflected light focused on the detection surface, a scanning device for scanning the laser light spot relative to the object, and an optical element arranged between the focusing optical system and the detection optical system, and having a waveguide device for propagating the reflected light focused by the focusing optical system. The waveguide device has waveguides in at least two directions perpendicular to the optical axis of incident light. The waveguides constitute a double-mode transmission waveguide, which selects either of a combination of a 0th-order mode and a 1st-order mode and the 0th-order mode alone in each of the two directions of the reflected light from the object according to amplitude distributions of electric fields in the two directions of the incident light as waveguide modes in the two directions upon propagation of the incident light, and propagates light in the selected modes. The detection optical system receives light emerging from the waveguide, and detects whether the waveguide in each of the two directions is the combination of the 0th-order mode and the 1st-order mode, or the 0th-order mode alone, thereby detecting amplitude distributions of the electric fields, in the two directions, of the reflected light from the object.
