摘要:
An electrophotographic light-sensitive material is described, comprising an electrically conductive support, an amorphous silicon photoconductive layer on the support, and a layer of amorphous material containing at least carbon and halogen atoms is provided on the photoconductive layer. This material is free from a serious reduction in resolving power as is encountered in conventional electrophotographic light-sensitive materials when they are exposed to corona discharge, particularly negative corona discharge under high temperature/humidity conditions.

A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a linear stimulating ray source for emitting stimulating rays to a linear portion of a stimulable phosphor sheet carrying a radiation image stored therein, and a line sensor constituted by many solid state photoelectric conversion devices. The line sensor extends at least over the length of the linear portion of the stimulable phosphor sheet exposed to stimulating rays. Light emitted by the linear portion of the stimulable phosphor sheet upon stimulation thereof is received and photoelectrically converted by the solid state photoelectric conversion devices. The portion exposed linearly to stimulating rays and the line sensor are moved with respect to the stimulable phosphor sheet, and outputs of the line sensor are sequentially read out in accordance with the movement of the portion exposed linearly to stimulating rays and the line sensor with respect to the stimulable phosphor sheet.

A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a stimulating ray source constituted by many point light sources for sequentially emitting stimulating rays onto a portion of a stimulable phosphor sheet carrying a radiation image stored therein, and a line sensor constituted by many solid state photoelectric conversion devices. The line sensor extends over the length of the portion of the stimulable phosphor sheet linearly exposed to stimulating rays. Light emitted by the exposed portion of the stimulable phosphor sheet is received and photoelectrically converted by the solid state photoelectric conversion devices. The stimulating ray source and the line sensor are moved with respect to the stimulable phosphor sheet in a main scanning direction normal to the array of the solid state photoelectric conversion devices, and then moved with respect thereto in the array direction each time one main scanning step is finished.

A radiation image read-out system comprises a point-source light for projecting a spot of stimulating rays onto a stimulable phosphor sheet carrying a radiation image stored therein, and a solid state photoelectric converter which is opposed to the spot-like portion of the stimulable phosphor sheet exposed to the spot of stimulating rays and is adapted to receive light from the spot-like portion. The point-source light and the solid state photoelectric converter are moved with respect to the stimulable phosphor sheet to two-dimensionally scan the stimulable phosphor sheet, thereby reading out the radiation image stored therein.

A light beam scanning system comprises a stack of a wave guide layer and an adjacent layer normally exhibiting a refractive index smaller than that of the wave guide layer, the wave guide layer and/or the adjacent layer being made of a material whose refractive index changes by the application of energy. Many energy application devices are positioned at the wave guide layer and/or the adjacent layer along an optical path of wave guided inside of the wave guide layer. Dielectric gratings are positioned on the adjacent layer so as to correspond to sections where energy is applied. A drive circuit is provided for sequentially and selectively energizing the energy application devices, and changing the refractive index of the wave guide layer and/or the adjacent layer so that the guided wave is radiated out of the stack by interaction with the dielectric gratings at the sections where energy is applied.

An optical shutter array comprising a transparent substrate of a material exhibiting an electrooptic effect having parallel channels and electrodes of a conductive resin composition disposed in the channels can be driven with a lower voltage while minimizing cross-talk. Contact pads on the channel electrodes facilitate wire bonding to the electrodes, and a transparent dielectric film covering the substrate surface prevents damage to the electrodes by air discharge and provides abrasion resistance. The use of an anisotropic conductive connector and a flexible printed wiring connector ensures simple positive wire connection.

A light beam scanning system comprises a wave guide formed of a material allowing propagation of surface acoustic waves therethrough, and a means for generating the surface acoustic waves in the wave guide so that they advance along an optical path of light incident upon the wave guide, and a drive circuit for periodically applying a pulsewise voltage to the surface acoustic wave generating means. The wave guided inside of the wave guide is emitted out of the wave guide at the section where the surface acoustic waves are present by a coupling action of a grating generated by the surface acoustic waves with the guided wave.

An optical wavelength converting apparatus comprises an optical wavelength converting device, which is constituted of a crystal of a nonlinear optical material and converts a wavelength of an incident fundamental wave into a different wavelength, a holder, which is constituted of a metal and to which the optical wavelength converting device is adhered and secured, and a device for adjusting the temperature of the region containing the optical wavelength converting device. The optical wavelength converting device is secured to the holder by adhering only the surface of the optical wavelength converting device to the holder, which surface is normal to the direction of a crystallographic axis that has a coefficient of thermal expansion most different from the coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal constituting the holder among the coefficients of thermal expansion of the crystallographic axes of the optical wavelength converting device. The optical wavelength converting device is thus reliably secured to the holder and prevented from breaking or being distorted due to a change in environmental temperature, and the accuracy, with which the temperature of the optical wavelength converting device is adjusted, is kept high.

An optical wavelength converting device comprises an optical waveguide device. The optical waveguide device is provided with a waveguide, which is constituted of a solid laser medium doped with a rare earth metal and a nonlinear optical material for converting a wavelength. The solid laser medium and said nonlinear optical material are overlaid one upon the other. A cladding is formed of a material having a lower refractive index than the waveguide and accommodates the waveguide therein. Two edge faces of the optical waveguide device serve as a resonator for a laser beam, which has been produced by the solid laser medium.
