Abstract: A phosphor host compound is produced from a host compound
material. Then, the host compound and a trivalent europium compound are
reacted in a reducing atmosphere to generate a desired divalent europium-activated
phosphor. If the divalent europium-activated phosphor is
generated in this manner, a chemical reaction between the raw material for
the host compound and the trivalent europium compound can be suppressed.
Therefore, variations in the luminescent color among different production
lots of the phosphor can be suppressed, and a phosphor with high color
purity can be provided with high repeatability.

Abstract: The wave (WE) to be modulated and the control wave (We) are injected collinearly into a waveguide (4) formed within the diode (2) which is biased to form the semiconducting part of an electro-absorption modulator and has an impedance across its terminals, sufficiently large to allow modulation transfer. The diode has an undoped layer forming an absorbent waveguide between an n-type layer (6) and a p-type layer (8). In a transitional stage, the absorption rate decreases from a steady maximum to a steady minimum value as the wavelength is increased. The control wavelength is shorter than the transitional wavelengths and the control power variations produce the modulation by shifting the transition band.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a detector (1) of foreign fibres and to a corresponding detection method, which can be used for detecting foreign fibres and foreign materials in a measurement object (5) in the textile industry, for example in yarns, slithers and unformed fiber bands on, for example, weaving machines, spinning machines, bobbin winding machines, doubling machines, cards, drawing benches and bobbin frames . . . . The principle of the detection is based on the fact that a measurement object (5) and foreign fibres or materials which are situated in the measurement object (5) absorb the light emitted into the measurement volume (4) by a light source (2) to different extents. All the light in the measurement volume (4), or a representative sample thereof, is measured by photodetectors (3) and converted into a photoelectric signal. Comparison of this signal with a signal measured when the measurement volume (4) was empty provides the absorption of the measurement object (5), from which the level of contamination of the measurement object (5) can be derived by interpretation.
