Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a magneto-optical head employing optical fiber connected stationary. This invention is capable of realizing satisfactory reductions in size and weight of a movable portion of an optical head. The extinction-type form of this optical fiber type magneto-optical head includes a first optical device for condensing a polarized light beam and leading it into a polarization-maintaining optical fiber. Additionally, it features a second optical device for focusing light emerging from the optical fiber into a beam spot on a magnetic recording medium. A detector is also included to detect light reflected from the magnetic recording medium with a change in polarized state, along with an azimuth rotator designed to optimize optical rotation.
Another significant patent is the multi-port fiberoptic rotary joint. This invention comprises a trapezoid prism provided between a rotative member and a fixed member of the rotary joint. The trapezoid prism is rotatable relative to the rotative member and coaxial with it. It includes a speed change gear mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the rotative member to the trapezoid prism, allowing it to rotate at half the angular velocity of the rotative member. The design also incorporates rhomboid prisms to guide light optically, ensuring efficient transmission through the rotary joint.
