A body-insertable apparatus system has a body insertable apparatus that is inserted into a subject and a control apparatus. The body-insertable apparatus includes a magnetic responding unit that is provided within a casing forming the body-insertable apparatus and has a magnetization direction; and a needle that is protruded and retracted with respect to a surface of the casing. The control apparatus includes a magnetic field generator that generates a magnetic field; and a control unit that causes the magnetic field generator to generate a magnetic field for changing an orientation of the magnetic responding unit based on the magnetization direction of the magnetic responding unit in the body-insertable apparatus, a position of the needle in the body-insertable apparatus, and a distal end direction of the needle, thereby changing an orientation of the entire body-insertable apparatus to enable the protruded needle to puncture a puncture target layer.

An optical amplification control apparatus is formed from a semiconductor optical amplifier, a temperature adjustment unit adjusting the temperature of the semiconductor optical amplifier, and an optical gain control unit adjusting the temperature of the semiconductor optical amplifier by controlling the temperature adjustment unit, and varying an optical gain of the semiconductor optical amplifier. Thus, a pattern effect is suppressed even if the output light intensity (the intensity of amplified light) is increased.

A polarization-independent SOA is provided which uses an InP substrate (11) as a semiconductor substrate and uses GaInNAs having introduced tensile strain as an active layer (14). With this configuration, the polarization independence is achieved by introducing the tensile strain, and high saturation optical output power is realized by reducing the film thickness of the active layer (14) as well as the gain peak wavelength is increased by reducing the band gap of the active layer (14) through use of GaInNAs made by adding nitrogen (N) to GaInAs as a material of the active layer (14) so as to achieve high gain especially in C-band and L-band even when band filling exits at the time of injecting a high current into the active layer (14).
