Abstract: An optical device includes a plurality of optical waveguides, and a planar optical waveguide. The plurality of optical waveguides each extend in a first direction, and are arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The planar optical waveguide is connected directly or indirectly with the plurality of optical waveguides. The plurality of optical waveguides each allow light to propagate in the first direction. The planar optical waveguide includes a first mirror and a second mirror, and an optical waveguide layer. The first mirror and the second mirror face each other, and extend in the first direction and the second direction. The optical waveguide layer is located between the first mirror and the second mirror.

Abstract: An optical scanning device includes: a first mirror; a second mirror opposed to the first mirror; two non-waveguide regions sandwiched between the first mirror and the second mirror; an optical waveguide region disposed between the two non-waveguide regions; and two intermediate regions. The average refractive index of the optical waveguide region is higher than the average refractive index of each intermediate region. The average refractive index of each intermediate region is higher than the average refractive index of each non-waveguide region. The first mirror allows part of light propagating through the optical waveguide region to be emitted as emission light in a third direction. By changing the refractive index and/or thickness of the optical waveguide region, the third direction, which is the emission direction of the emission light, is changed.

Abstract: A light emitting device includes a light source that emits an optical beam in response to a control signal, an optical deflector that changes a direction of the optical beam in response to a driving voltage, and a control circuit that controls a timing of emission of the optical beam and the direction of the optical beam. The optical deflector is configured to change the direction of the optical beam along a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction and a rate of change in the direction of the optical beam along the first direction is lower than a rate of change in the direction of the optical beam along the second direction.

Abstract: An optical scanning device including: a first mirror having a first reflecting surface; a second mirror having a second reflecting surface; two non-waveguide regions disposed between the first and second mirrors and that are spaced apart from each other in a first direction parallel to at least either the first reflecting surface or the second reflecting surface; and an optical waveguide region disposed between the first and second mirrors and that is sandwiched between the two non-waveguide regions. The optical waveguide region propagates light in a second direction that crosses the first direction. The optical waveguide region and the two non-waveguide regions include respective first regions in which a common material exists. The optical waveguide region or each of the two non-waveguide regions further includes a second region in which a first material having a refractive index different from the refractive index of the common material exists.

Abstract: A light-emitting device comprises a layered structure between a first layer and a second layer. The first layer has a refractive index n1 for first light having a wavelength λa in air. The second layer has a refractive index n2 for the first light. The layered structure comprises: a photoluminescent layer having a first surface facing the first layer and a second surface facing the second layer; and a surface structure disposed on at least one selected from the group consisting of the first surface and the second surface of the photoluminescent layer. The refractive index n1 and the refractive index n2 are lower than a refractive index nwav-a of the photoluminescent layer for the first light. The layered structure has an effective thickness to more strongly emit TE polarized light than TM polarized light.

Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a photoluminescent layer that emits light containing first light, and a light-transmissive layer located on or near the photoluminescent layer. A submicron structure is defined on at least one of the photoluminescent layer and the light-transmissive layer. The submicron structure includes at least projections or recesses. The submicron structure has spatial frequency components distributed at least from more than 0 to 2/Dint(min) as determined by two-dimensional Fourier transform of a pattern of the projections or recesses and satisfies the following relationship: 0.8Dint(min)
