A holographic projection system with a display screen and an optical wave tracking element for controlling the direction of propagation of a modulated wave uses a position controller and an eye finder. An extremely wide tracking range is realized in the projection system for simultaneous viewing of the reconstruction by multiple observers, which are situated beside one another. The reconstruction of the scene is reconstructed for each eye position of an observer such that the entire scene is visible in the visibility region in a large tracking range with minimal errors. The projection system reconstructs the scene with the help of modulated partial waves. Projection element(s) direct these partial waves with separately holographically reconstructed segments of the scene at the desired eye position through a structure of screen segments which are at least horizontally staggered on the display screen.

A hologram optical element is formed on a substrate so as to make an optical device. The hologram optical element is formed in an area smaller than an irradiation area of a beam for reproduction such as image light or object light on the substrate. Supposing that the beam for reproduction is made of a center beam having intensity higher than 50% of center intensity and other peripheral beam, the hologram optical element is formed on the substrate in a size for diffracting only the center beam so that a flare or a ghost can be relieved without using additional optical elements such as a shading plate.

An optical recording medium tilt compensation device having a tilt compensation unit is disclosed that is able to compensate for a tilt error in servo control when recording or reproducing data in an optical recording medium. The optical recording medium tilt compensation device includes an object lens that condenses light from a light source on a recording surface of an optical recording medium; an object lens tilt actuator that controls a tilt of the object lens; an object lens tilt sensor that detects a tilt of the object lens; an optical recording medium tilt sensor that detects a tilt of the optical recording medium; a control unit that controls the tilt of the object lens in accordance with a tilt value from the optical recording medium tilt sensor so that an aberration of the spot condensed on the recording surface is minimum by driving the object lens tilt actuator; a gain variable unit that changes the magnitude of an output signal from the object lens tilt sensor or the optical recording medium tilt sensor.

The present invention has an object to provide a cold cathode field-emission electron gun with low aberration, to thereby provide a high-brightness electron gun even in the case of a large current. The present invention provides a field-emission electron gun which extracts an electron beam from a cathode and converges the extracted electron beam, the field-emission electron gun including: a magnetic field lens which is provided such that the cathode is disposed inside of a magnetic field of the lens; and an extraction electrode for extracting electrons from the cathode, the extraction electrode being formed into a cylindrical shape without an aperture structure.

A method for compensating an aberration of a variable focus liquid lens is configured to compensate the aberration associated with a first lens surface and a second lens surface of the liquid lens. The first lens surface is of a first radius of curvature. The second lens surface is of a second radius of curvature.

A high-performance image-forming optical system made compact and thin by folding an optical path using reflecting surfaces arranged to minimize the number of reflections. The image-forming optical system has a single prism. When image-side three surfaces of the prism are defined as a surface A, a surface B and a surface C in order from the image plane side thereof, at least one of the surfaces B and C has a rotationally asymmetric curved surface configuration that gives a power to a light beam and corrects aberrations due to decentration. The optical system leads light rays from an object to the image plane without forming an image in the prism and has a pupil in the prism. The surface A is a transmitting surface through which rays exit from the prism. The surfaces B and C are internally reflecting surfaces, which are positioned to face each other to form a Z-shaped optical path.

A catadioptric objective system used for storage and / or reproduction of information by use of an optical near field. The catadioptric objective system is composed of a catadioptric objective lens and a light transmitting plate. The lens has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface has a positive optical power and transmits incident rays. The second surface has a positive optical power and reflects incident rays, and a plane portion is formed in the center of the second surface. The light transmitting plate has a third surface and a fourth surface which are substantially parallel to each other, and the third surface is bonded to the second surface. Incident rays pass through the first surface and are reflected by the second surface. Thereafter, the rays enter into the first surface again and are reflected by the first surface. Then, the rays pass through the plane portion of the second surface, and the rays are converged in vicinity of the fourth surface.

A zoom lens has, in order from an object, a first lens group (G1) having positive refractive power; a second lens group (G2) having negative refractive power; a third lens group (G3) having positive refractive power; and a fourth lens group (G4) having positive refractive power. Zooming is performed by changing an air gap between the lens groups. The fourth lens group (G4) includes, in order from the object, a lens component (La) having positive or negative refractive power, a positive lens component (Lb), and a positive lens component (Lc) having a convex surface facing the object.
