Disclosed is an optical switch for changing over the mode connecting two optical transmission lines comprising two optical fibers directly to each other and the mode connecting an optical communication device between the two transmission lines. In this optical switch, in order to reduce the insertion loss, first, second, third and fourth optical fibers, each having an optical connector attached to one end, are attached to a substrate so that at least parts of the respective optical fibers are fixed to the substrate, and the ends of the first and second fibers are arranged on the substrate movably so that the end face of the first optical fiber confronts the end faces of the second and third optical fibers and the end face of the second optical fiber confronts the end faces of the first and fourth optical fibers.
摘要:
An optical measurement system for eliminating the influences of time variations on light sources, transmission lines, photo detectors, etc. The system includes light sources which generate two pulse-shaped optical signals of different light wavelengths with a portion of the optical signals being transmitted to a measuring part in a distant place by a transmission line. In the measuring part, a change of a measured object is converted into a variation in the quantity of transmission of light, and the optical signal subjected to the variation is transmitted to a signal processing portion by a transmission line. The varied optical signal is converted into a first electric signal by a photo detector. Another portion of the optical signals from the light sources is converted into a second electric signal by another photo detector. A signal processing circuit provides a measurement output indicative of the quantity of change of the measured object as a function of at least one ratio of the first and second electric signals.

An apparatus is disclosed which projects light onto a retina of a viewer, to thereby allow the viewer to perceive a display object via a virtual image. The apparatus includes: an emitter emitting light; a modulator modulating the light; a display unit outputting the modulated light to the retina of the viewer through an exit of the display unit, to thereby display in an image display region an image representative of the display object in the form of a virtual image; and a controller controlling the emitter and the modulator so that the image is displayed in the image display region. The controller detects a relative motion of the viewer with respect to a position of the viewer, and performs at least one of control of a display/non-display status of the image, and control of a display position of the image, in accordance with the detected relative motion.

An axial flow fan is provided having an airfoil shape that improves efficiency of the axial flow fan and increases the structural strength and workability/formability of the thin trailing edge portion. The axial flow fan includes a blade having a suction surface, a pressure surface, and a trailing edge surface; the suction surface has the same in shape as a predetermined airfoil including an NACA-series airfoil; a trailing edge portion on the pressure surface is different in shape from the predetermined airfoil. A feature is that the blade trailing edge portion including the trailing edge portions on the oppositely facing pressure and suction surfaces and the trailing edge, has a thickness greater than that of a trailing edge portion of the predetermined airfoil and strength equaling or exceeding a predetermined strength.

An apparatus for projecting modulated light onto a retina of a viewer, to thereby allow the viewer to perceive a display object via a virtual image is disclosed. The apparatus is configured to include: an emitter emitting light; a modulator modulating the light; and a controller controlling the emitter and the modulator for generating virtual images to be perceived by the viewer in an image display field. The controller is operated, such that a principal virtual image defining the display object is perceived by the viewer in a principal display region of the image display field, and such that an auxiliary virtual image is perceived by the viewer together with the principal virtual image, in an auxiliary display region which is located in the image display field in a predetermined positional relationship with the principal display region, as viewed from the viewer.

An apparatus for use in image display, of projecting a light beam onto a retina of a viewer, to thereby allow the viewer to perceive an image, is disclosed. The apparatus is constructed to include: a light emitter emitting a light beam; a scanner scanning the light beam emitted by the light emitter; an optical system receiving the light beam scanned by the scanner as an incoming light beam, and emitting the received incoming light beam as an outgoing light beam, such that, upon modulation of the light beam with respect to a traveling direction of the light beam, the outgoing light beam is directed to a pupil of the viewer; and a curvature compensator compensating a wavefront curvature of the incoming light beam.
