    摘要: The optical apparatus includes first and second deflection members, a mask, a pumping light source, and a controller. The first and second deflection members are formed of nonlinear optical material whose refractive index is changed upon light radiation. The mask is arranged on an optical path extending from a front side of the first deflection member to a rear side of a second deflection member. The mask has a predetermined transmission pattern. The pumping light source radiates first and second beams on predetermined regions of the first and second deflection members. This changes the refractive indices of the predetermined regions to bend the optical path. The controller variably controls the intensity of the first and second beams.

    摘要: Light the intensity of which is modulated to the initial intensity by a modulating signal having an ac component with a predetermined frequency and which is from the intensity tuneable light irradiating unit irradiates the scattering and absorption medium which is an object to be measured. The modulated light incident on the scattering and absorption medium propagates in the scattering and absorption medium, emerges therefrom and is incident to the photodetecting unit, and the photodetecting unit converts the incident light into an electric signal corresponding to the intensity of the incident light, and thereafter, outputs the electric signal as an optically detected signal. The feedback unit extracts the ac component from the input optically detected signal, and the intensity of the ac electric signal and the adjusting value are compared and the variation of the quantity of generating light is sent to the intensity tuneable light irradiating unit. Then, the phase difference detection is performed as the gain of the photodetecting means is fixed and the intensity of the ac component having a modulation frequency emitted from the photodetecting means is maintained so as to substantially match with the preset adjusting value.

    摘要: Young's interferometer consisting of a single slit and a double slit member, and an analyzer are arranged along the axis of light to be measured. Parallel slits of the double slit member are provided with respective polarizers whose paralyzing directions are at .+-.45.degree. to the longitudinal direction of the parallel slits. The polarizing direction of the analyzer is set in parallel with the parallel slits. The incident light passes through Young's interferometer and the analyzer to form an interference fringe, which is detected by an image detector unit. An image analyzer unit produces an intensity profile of the interference fringe and determines the polarization state of the incident light, for instance, by comparing the produced intensity profile with conceivable profiles stored in advance.

    摘要: A semiconductor light amplifier is driven by a drive device, and selectively amplifies one of a TM mode component and a TE mode component of input light. For example, TE mode light is selectively amplified by making thickness of the active layer of the semiconductor light amplifier not more than 0.05 .mu.m, or by tilting at least one of the entrance and exit faces of the semiconductor light amplifier by 10 to 16 degrees. An another type of light amplifying polarizer, input signal light and excitation light are combined by a half mirror or an optical coupler, and combined light is input to a rare-earth-element doped, polarization maintaining optical fiber.
