ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 13 -- United States Patent no. 12,523,596, issued on Jan. 13, was assigned to USHIO DENKI K.K. (Tokyo).
"Light source apparatus" was invented by Takuma Yokoyama (Tokyo) and Aya Ota (Tokyo).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A light source apparatus generates wavelength scanning light. A pulsed light source generates pulsed light including a continuous spectrum. An optical divider spatially divides the broadband pulsed light L into a plurality of n (nless than=2) beams according to wavelengths. A plurality of n fibers give different delays to the n beams. The coupler multiplexes n beams output from the n fibers. In the light source apparatus, at least a part from an incident e...
