るを兄なかりた。Therefore, with the application of this original technology in many fields, more complex and precise original modulation effects are required than ever before. For example, when modulating two or more types of originals such as mode-locking and Q-switching at the same time, conventionally, two or more variable i11 elements are required.
As a result, the size of the device had to be large as well.
