A light focusing and dispersing apparatus of a light source module is disclosed. The light focusing and dispersing apparatus is particularly used in image scanners such as a single pass color scanner. The light focusing and dispersing apparatus concentrates light from a light source to form a light beam so as to upgrade the use efficiency of light energy. The light focusing and dispersing apparatus disperses the light beam from the light source to form red, green and blue light beams to illuminate a document to be scanned. The red, green and blue light beams reflected from the scanned document emit onto array of image sensors comprising red, green and blue light sensitive regions respectively.

Small projection optical systems and projection-type image display apparatuses use a plurality of prisms with internally reflecting surfaces with optical power, an incident light refracting surface, and an exit light refracting surface in order to project an image of an image display element on a nearby screen. The ratio of the distance to the screen from the exit light refracting surface of the projection optical system and the distance to the image display apparatus from the incident light refracting surface of the projection optical system satisfies a condition that the ratio be less than twenty. A diaphragm that serves as an aperture stop is placed between two of the prisms. The internally reflecting surfaces may be free-form surfaces or simpler rotationally symmetric aspheric surfaces. Six internally reflecting surfaces of free-form shape are disclosed in a preferred embodiment.

A laser irradiation apparatus having a low running cost compared to the conventional, and a laser irradiation method using the laser irradiation apparatus, are provided. Crystal grains having a size in the same order as, or greater than, conventional grains are formed. The cooling speed of a semiconductor film is made slower, and it becomes possible to form crystal grains having a grain size in the same order as, or greater than, the size of grains formed in the case of irradiating laser light having a long output time to the semiconductor film. This is achieved by delaying one laser light with respect to another laser light, combining the laser lights, and performing irradiation to the semiconductor film in the case of irradiating laser light using a solid state laser as a light source, which has a short output time.
摘要:
An optical reduction system for use in the photolithographic manufacture of semiconductor devices having one or more quarter-wave plates operating near the long conjugate end. A quarter-wave plate after the reticle provides linearly polarized light at or near the beamsplitter. A quarter-wave plate before the reticle provides circularly polarized or generally unpolarized light at or near the reticle. Additional quarter-wave plates are used to further reduce transmission loss and asymmetries from feature orientation. The optical reduction system provides a relatively high numerical aperture of 0.7 capable of patterning features smaller than 0.25 microns over a 26 mmnull5 mm field. The optical reduction system is thereby well adapted to a step and scan microlithographic exposure tool as used in semiconductor manufacturing. Several other embodiments combine elements of different refracting power to widen the spectral bandwidth which can be achieved.

This invention relates to electromagnetic wave beam paths, formation of the beam, illumination of programmable electromagnetic wave field vector orientation rotating devices (nullPEMFVORDnull) with an electromagnetic beam, and the technique of projection of the modulated beam. This invention also relates to a unique light path and method of forming the light into a rectangular beam to be used for optical projection systems and, more particularly, in a color and/or black and white liquid crystal device (LCD) projectors that produce high resolution, which brightness and/or three-dimensional images. This invention further relates to a device capable of receiving and displaying two-dimensional and three-dimensional images.

A micromachined pellicle beam splitter and method of manufacture thereof are disclosed. In one embodiment, the beam splitter includes a silicon frame with a silicon nitride membrane attached to the frame and covering an opening through the frame. Other materials may be utilized, however, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the membrane should be greater than that of the frame. The beam splitter may be manufactured by coating a silicon substrate with a layer of silicon nitride, patterning an opposite side of the silicon substrate with a photoresist or a metallic layer to define an opening an etching an opening through the substrate to the silicon nitride with either a dry etch or wet etch technique. An improved tunable laser module incorporating the micromachined pellicle beam splitter and a method of tuning a laser diode are also disclosed.
