    摘要: A surface displacement sensor is so designed that a stop or aperture for controlling an angle of opening is disposed at the position of a pupil of a detection optical system in which a slit image is focused on the surface to be detected and the light rays reflected from the surface to be detected are collected to re-focus the slit image on the light receiving surface of the sensor. When the height position of the surface to be detected is detected by such stop for controlling the angle of opening, the deviation of the distribution of intensity of light which tends to occur in the widthwise direction of the slit through which passes the light beam which in turn focuses a slit image, can be positively decreased by limiting the angle of opening N.A. in the widthwise direction of the slit for passing the light beam to focus a slit image to be narrow and consequently the degree of detection accuracy can be improved. The stop for controlling the angle of opening is so designed and constructed that in the case of detecting operation of the sensor, the angle of opening N.A. in the widthwise direction of the slit image is limited so that the slit image having a sufficiently narrow angle of opening can be obtained. Furthermore, in the case of the focal point adjustment of the optical system, the stop is so switched that a slit image having a sufficiently wide angle of opening N.A. in the widthwise direction thereof can be focused on a receiving slit. The focal point adjustment is further facilitated in the surface displacement sensor.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser of this invention, having a structure of an element composed of: carrier block layers, formed bilaterally externally of an active layer in section which is formed in the vertical direction from the surface of the element, for reducing a light guiding function of the active layer; wave guide layers provided bilaterally externally of said carrier block layers and clad layers provided so that the wave guide layers are sandwiched in between the clad layers. This invention overcomes a dilemma inherent in the conventional weakly guiding laser and LOC structured laser in terms of designing the device for controlling a guided mode. The present invention also solves the problems in terms of attaining higher outputting and a low dispersion of the radiation beams and improving a beam profile.
