Abstract: An optical fiber is vibrated at an emitting end part by a scanning part, and light is irradiated from an emitting end face of the optical fiber onto an object to scan the object. The scanning part includes a pair of first direction coils facing each other in a first direction across the emitting end part, and a permanent magnet installed as penetrating the emitting end part. The permanent magnet is magnetized in the axial direction of the emitting end part. The scanning part drives, by supplying power to the first direction coils, the emitting end part to vibrate in the first direction in the second or higher-order resonance mode, forming nodes of the vibration within the permanent magnet. When in a state of non-vibration in the first direction, a relative distance between the permanent magnet and the first direction coils is smaller than that in other directions.

Abstract: An optical scanning actuator (1) includes an optical fiber (2) having a tip (2a) supported to allow vibration and includes a piezoelectric element (4) that generates a driving force by expanding and contracting in the direction of the optical axis of the optical fiber (2), the driving force driving the tip (2a) of the optical fiber (2) in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The optical scanning actuator (1) has rotational asymmetry or two-fold rotational symmetry about the optical axis of the optical fiber (2), and the resonance direction of the tip (2a) of the optical fiber (2) and the direction of the driving force of the piezoelectric element (4) are substantially parallel.

Abstract: Provided is an optical scanning observation apparatus including: a light source unit (30) for outputting laser light; a scanning part (23) for scanning, on an object of observation (70), a condensing position of the laser light output from the light source; and a detection unit (40) for sampling signal light obtained through scanning of the laser light, and converting the signal light into an electric signal, in which a sampling time for detecting signal light per one sampling is varied in accordance with changes in scanning rate of the scanning part (24) scanning on the object of observation (70). In this manner, variation in resolution of an image resulting from changes in scanning rate per each sampling can be reduced.

Abstract: This method is for calibrating an optical scanning apparatus that includes an optical fiber with a tip supported to allow vibration and an actuator that drives the tip of the optical fiber in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the optical fiber. The method includes arranging a position sensitive detector that detects a position of emitted light from the tip of the optical fiber (step S02) and detecting the position of the emitted light with the position sensitive detector while supplying light to the optical fiber and driving the tip of the optical fiber (step S03). The step of detecting (step S03) is performed using an interference fringe reducer that reduces interference fringes occurring along an optical path reaching the position sensitive detector.

Abstract: This optical scanning actuator can improve yield and assembly efficiency. An optical scanning actuator (10) includes a piezoelectric element (14) that is joined to a displaceably supported emission end (11a) of an optical fiber (11) and displaces the emission end (11a) in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis direction of the optical fiber (11) by expanding and contracting in the optical axis direction. The piezoelectric element (14) includes an identifier (16) for identifying a polarization direction, the identifier (16) being formed physically.
