Introduction

Yosuke Kuwahara is an inventor associated with Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. in Hamamatsu, Japan. His patent work includes an optical module designed for use in an encoder.

Latest Patents

Kuwahara is credited with 1 patent: “Optical Module for Encoder and Reflection-Type Encoder.” The invention describes an optical module with a support, a light-emitting element, a light-receiving element, and a light-transmitting member mounted on the support’s side wall. A resin member covers inner and outer regions of the light-transmitting member’s surface. Its refractive index is lower than that of the light-transmitting member at the center wavelength of the emitted light, and the resin on the outer region bonds the light-transmitting member to the side wall. The design relates to optical modules and reflection-type encoders.
