    摘要: An array light source 1 with semiconductor laser sources disposed one-dimensionally and a projective lens 2 are used to illuminate an inspected object so that light beams projected from the array light source form a dotted line on the object. A line sensor is used to receive through an objective lens 3 light emitted from an imaging area 11 away from an illuminated area 12. An image signal, fed to an image processing unit 8 through a pre-processing unit 7 producing an image from signals from the line sensor 4 and a stage 5 is processed, while the stage 5 bearing the object 6 is being gradually moved, to inspect the object 6 for crack defects 9 and 10 by detecting an optically nonhomogeneous portion of the object. The method allows a crack defect of an object, such as a ceramic substrate or a sintered metal product, to be detected fast with high accuracy.

    摘要: The present invention provides an optical encoder capable of using the recesses and convexes of a movable plate and a fixed plate to accurately generate a Z phase signal in synchronism with an A/B phase signal. Phase type diffraction gratings on the moving and fixed plates including a plurality of tracks with different grating pitches cause parallel coherent beams to interfere with one another, and a light receiving part detects the intensity of light to obtain a plurality of synchronous signals with different periods. On the other hand, the light receiving part detects light spots formed by condensing elements on the movable plate to generates a single pulse per rotation as a reference position. One of the plurality of synchronous signals that has the shortest period is selected as an A/B phase signal that depends on the movement of the movable plate. The conjunction of the reference position signal and the plurality of synchronous signals is determined as a Z phase signal indicating the origin of the movable plate, thereby obtaining a Z phase signal in synchronism with one pulse of the A/B phase signal.

    摘要: An optical encoder has a light source and a diffracted light interference device including at least first and second diffraction gratings confronting each other, producing diffracted light beams in specific orders by passing light emitted from the light source through the first and second diffraction gratings, and making the diffracted light beams in the specific orders, which have passed through the diffraction gratings, interfere with each other to produce on-axis interference light beams in which the sum of the orders of the diffraction at the diffraction gratings is zero and off-axis interference light beams in which the sum of the orders of the diffraction is not zero. A phase device is adjusting the phases of the on-axis interference light beams and the off-axis interference light beams emitted from plural portions of the diffracted light interference device. A plurality of light sensors receive and detect the on-axis interference light beams and the off-axis interference light beams device. In this structure, since the on-axis interference light beams in which the sum of the orders of the diffraction at the diffraction gratings is zero and the off-axis interference light beams in which the sum of the orders of the diffraction is not zero are produced and the phases of the on-axis interference light beams and the phases of the off-axis interference light beams are made equal to each other, unwanted negation of signals is avoided, whereby the light utilization efficiency is increased.

    摘要: A method for evaluating aberrations of an optical element such as optical head for use with an optical system such as DVD. In this method, light is transmitted through the optical element and then diffracted into 0, ±1, ±2, . . . order diffraction lights, for example. Among others, first and second lights (e.g., 0 and +1, 0 and −1, +1 and −1, or 0 and ±1 order diffracted lights) are overlapped to form an image shared by the first and second lights. Then, light intensity at first and second points in the shared image are detected. At this moment, light intensity at the first and second points are changed. Then, a phase difference in light intensity of between first and second points is determined. Using the phase difference, aberrations of the optical element are determined.
