An optical module includes a package, which accommodates an optical system. A package main body has an opening. A lid is attached to the main body to close the opening of the main body. The lid seals the package. An anti-deterioration agent for preventing deterioration of the optical system is located inside the package at a position out of a light path of the optical system. The anti-deterioration agent includes at least one of desiccant and deoxidant.

In a small-sized optical module, opposite side surfaces of a collimator lens (2) and opposite side surfaces of a polarization compensating filter (5) are fixed to opposite side surfaces of a rectangular frame (4). Two open surfaces are provided in the rectangular frame (4), so that optical components can be finely adjusted easily, and a large number of small-sized optical components can be aligned and assembled accurately. Reinforcing members (6) are provided in the open surfaces of the rectangular frame (4) so that the shape of the rectangular frame (4) can be retained against external force. After a diffraction grating (3) is fixed to the reinforcing members (6), the reinforcing members (6) with the diffraction grating (3) are adjusted, aligned and fixed to the rectangular frame (4).

The present invention relates to a method of aligning and assembling an optical demultiplexer module having an input fiber, a collimator lens, a diffraction grating, and a photodetector array, and a mechanism for automatically aligning such an optical demultiplexer module. The method comprises the steps of preparing a submodule A including the input fiber and the photodetector array and a submodule B including the diffraction grating and the collimator lens, preparing an alignment jig for allowing the submodules A, B to move independently of each other, fixing the submodules A, B to the adjustment jig, and applying light from the input fiber and moving the submodule B with respect to the submodule A for maximizing a light output from a photodetector.

A light measuring device is designed, so that excitation light, emitted by a light source, is guided through an excitation light optical fiber to irradiate a sample, and that fluorescence discharged by the sample is guided to an optical detection system through a receiving light optical fiber. A coupling lens is arranged ahead of the excitation light optical fiber and ahead of the receiving light optical fiber on the sample side. A sample container for retaining a sample is so designed that a lens portion, for collecting excitation light and fluorescence, is integrally formed with the cylindrical bottom. According to this arrangement, excitation light is changed to parallel light or converged light by the coupling lens, and is collected at the sample by the lens portion integrally formed with the bottom of the sample container.
摘要:
A light detection device for detecting an optical path position of invisible light. The detection device includes a main body and a light guide. The light guide includes a distal end functioning as a light incident portion through which the detected light enters and a light radiation portion from which visible light is emitted. A drive mechanism reciprocates the light guide in an X-direction while vibrating the light guide in a perpendicular Y-direction. The distal end of the light guide rod moves within a light detection area in an XY plane. A visible light-emitting unit radiates visible light from the distal end when the detected light enters the distal end. The visible light-emitting unit includes a photo-detector for detecting the detected light and a light-emitting element for generating the visible light when the photo-detector detects the detected light.

摘要:
An optical wavelength demultiplexer has at least two optical fibers and a two-dimensional array of photodetectors arranged in as many rows as the number of optical fibers and as many columns as the number of demultiplex channels. Any one of said optical fibers and a central line of one of said rows which corresponds to said any one of the optical fibers are spaced equal distances from the optical axis of a focusing element such as a collimator lens or a concave diffraction grating. A light ray emitted from any one of the optical fibers is demultiplexed by a planar or concave diffraction grating into light rays, which are applied to a corresponding row of photodetectors to produce output signals in the respective demultiplex channels. The planar diffraction grating and the collimator lens, or the concave diffraction grating is shared by the at least two optical fibers which provide input capabilities.
摘要:
A microlens array of high converging efficiency is provided, independently of the array and lens filling rate of microlens arrays, with a method of manufacturing microlens arrays using the diffusion process. A multitude of refractive-index distribution type microlenses formed by diffusing in a planar transparent substrate a substance contributing to increasing the refractive index of the substrate are two-dimensionally and regularly arranged on the surface of the substrate. The microlenses are densely arranged on the surface of the substrate, and diffusion fronts of the microlenses form regions where the diffusion fronts are fused with those of the adjoining microlenses. The length of a region where certain two adjoining microlenses are fused together, in the direction of a straight line connecting the centers of the two microlenses is less than 20% of the array pitch of the microlenses in the above-mentioned direction.
