    Abstract: A beam deflection system includes 2M laser light sources configured to emit laser lights, each laser light source being configured to switch two different center wavelengths to each other. The 2M laser light sources are divided into two sets of M types. The laser lights emitted from the two sets of M types of laser light sources are combined and input to a beam deflector. When (i) N is defined as an integer satisfying an expression of “1≤N≤M”, and (ii) center wavelengths of Nth laser light sources of the two sets of M laser light sources are defined as λN and λM+N, an expression of “λ1

    Abstract: An optical scanner includes a substrate having a rigid body and a beam, and a layered body having multiple layers, including a lower conductive layer, a interlayer insulation film and an upper conductive layer, the layered body layered on and protruding outward from the rigid body and the beam. The layered body is patterned to form a resonance scanner portion and a vari-focal mirror, the resonance scanner portion (i) made as a part of the layered body and (ii) having an actuator part, and the vari-focal mirror made as a part of the layered body. The layered body including the resonance scanner portion and the vari-focal mirror is patterned to form a mirror driving wire. In such structure, the size of the optical scanner is reduced, and a frequency change of the resonance scanner portion due to the voltage application to the mirror driving wire is suppressed.

    Abstract: A distance measurement sensor that detects a distance to an object based on heterodyne detection using light generated from a light source and another light received by a light receiver, includes: a scanning unit which scans the light in a first direction; a diffusing lens which diffuses the light in a second direction; multiplexers which multiplex the light and the another light to provide optical signals, respectively; and a processor which detects the distance to the object based on the optical signals. The light receiver has light receiving antennas in the second direction. The multiplexers are connected to the light receiving antennas, respectively. The processor performs a parallel processing for detecting the distance to the object based on the optical signals with respect to the light receiving antennas individually.

    Abstract: A variable focus mirror includes a base portion, a first piezoelectric element, a reflection surface portion, and a second piezoelectric element. The base portion has a plate shape with a recessed portion on a back surface. The first piezoelectric element is arranged on a front surface of the base portion where the recessed portion is arranged. The reflection surface portion is arranged on the first piezoelectric element. The reflection surface portion is arranged opposite to the base portion with respect to the first piezoelectric element. The second piezoelectric element is arranged on the front surface of the base portion. The second piezoelectric element covers the part of the base portion where the recessed portion is arranged and the part of the base portion outside the recessed portion. The second piezoelectric element is separated from the first piezoelectric element.

    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting element includes an optical waveguide having a first and second waveguide provided with a width that allows propagation of light in a second-order mode or higher and a multimode optical interference waveguide provided with a wider width than the first and second waveguide and arranged at a position therebetween. The semiconductor light emitting element further includes a first optical loss layer facing the first waveguide in an active-layer crossing direction for causing a loss of light that is propagating in the first waveguide in the second-order mode or higher and a second optical loss layer facing the second waveguide in an active-layer crossing direction for causing a loss of light that is propagating in the second waveguide in the second-order mode or higher, the active-layer crossing direction being orthogonal to a surface of an active layer.

    Abstract: An optical scanning device has a reflecting portion and a supporting body for supporting the reflecting portion. The reflecting portion has a reflecting surface for reflecting light beam. A pair of outside beam members is arranged between the reflecting portion and the supporting body in a longitudinal direction of the device. The device also has a first driving portion, one end of which is connected to the supporting body, while the other end of which is connected to a driving point of the reflecting portion. When the first driving portion is inflected, the reflecting portion is oscillated in a twisting vibration manner at a first axis. The driving point of the reflecting portion is located at a position separated from the first axis.

    Abstract: A distance measuring device includes: a modulated light output unit configured to output a modulated light; a transmitting scanner configured to emit an input light, which is one branched light of the modulated light, as an emitted light; a receiving scanner into which the emitted light reflected by a target object is incident as an incident light, the receiving scanner outputting the incident light as a reflected light; and a measuring unit configured to measure a distance to the target object by combining the reflected light and a reference light which is the other branched light of the modulated light. The modulated light output unit outputs at least two modulated lights having modulation frequencies different from each other by chirping the modulation frequencies to approach each other.
