摘要:
A medical X-ray tomographing apparatus, wherein the output end surfaces of a plurality of optical fiber bundles are optically coupled to the image pickup surfaces of vertically long solid-state image pickup devices, such as one-dimensional image sensors, and the input end surfaces of a plurality of the optical fiber bundles having a vertically long cross-sectional shape being identical to that of the output end surfaces thereof are optically coupled individually to a plurality of vertically long divisions obtained by dividing the fluorescent surface of a scintillator in the width direction thereof. With this apparatus, it is not necessary to significantly contract the size of the image on the fluorescent surface, thereby remarkably reducing the number of the solid-state image pickup devices and the number of the divisions of the fluorescent surface.

An input incoherent optical image to be supplied to a microchannel spatial light modulator (MSLM) is produced by a CRT in accordance with an input electric signal provided from a computer. An output coherent optical image is read-out by launching a laser beam into an electro-optic material incorporated in the MSLM which stores the input image as a refractive index distribution.

A spatial light modulation device includes a spatial light modulation tube and converts a one-dimensional photoelectron image into a two-dimensional electron image, rotating the two-dimensional electron image, subjecting the rotated two-dimensional electron image and a previously stored electron image to addition or subtraction, and stores the electron image thus processed. An image reconstructing apparatus includes: projection means for detecting as projection data a projection of internal information of an object; the spatial light modulation device which produces and stores a corrected reconstructed image on the basis of a one-dimensional correction data image and a previously stored reconstructed image; optical reading means for reading out the reconstructed image form the spatial light modulation device; summing means for integrating parts of the readout reconstructed image to produce sum data; and comparison and correction means for subjecting the projection data and the sum data to comparison to form the one-dimensional correction data image.

A plurality of ultra-high speed light receiving elements are provided each of which has two rectifier junctions being connected to each other opposite in polarity and has a substantially symmetrical electrode arrangement. A bias voltage is applied to each of the light receiving elements from one or a plurality of power sources. Electrical signals produced by the light receiving elements in response to input optical pulse signals are superposed on one another to produce one or a plurality of output electrical signals representing a predetermined logic operation with respect to the input optical pulse signals. Depending on the arrangement of its elements, the optical logic operation system functions as an OR circuit, AND circuit, NOT circuit, EXCLUSIVE OR circuit, or half-adder circuit.

A sampling streak tube in which the signal-to-noise ratio is reduced. The tube includes a photocathode to which an incident light beam is applied and an accelerating electrode for accelerating an electron beam emitted by the photocathode the accelerating electrode being in the form of a plate with an opening through which the beam passes. The accelerated beam is passed through deflecting electrodes for deflecting the electron beam. The deflected beam crosses a slit in a sampling electrode, a sampled beam portion passing through the slit and impinging on a phosphor screen.
摘要:
A position-sensitive radiation detector has a multi-layer scintillator assembly coupled to a position-sensitive photo-detector. Individual scintillator blocks of rectangular solid form in each scintillator layer are optically isolated by a reflecting agent such as BaSO.sub.4, and the adjacent layers are optically coupled by a coupling agent such as silicon grease. In the case of the scintillator assembly of n layers, the scintillator blocks in one layer are staggered with those in the adjacent layer by one nth of the width of each block. In addition to information on a horizontal position, information on the depth of radiation absorption can be obtained by calculating the centroid or variance of a spatial distribution of light outputted from the scintillator assembly.
摘要:
A voltage detector detects a voltage developing in a selected area of an object such as an integrated circuit by utilizing an electro-optic material equipped in an optical probe. A change in refractive index of an electro-optic material which is caused by the voltage in the object, is detected as a change of polarization of a light beam passing through the electro-optic material. In order to avoid undesired changes of polarization of the light beam when passing through optical fibers, a polarizer, beam splitters, and an analyzer are assembled together and connected to the electro-optic material to form a compact optical probe.

In addition to obtaining a spectrum of a measuring spot of an object, a spectrum measuring apparatus comprises a TV camera for picking-up a total image of the object. Signals corresponding to the spectrum and the total image are superposed so that the spectrum and the total image are displayed on a screen of a TV monitor at the same time.
