The radius of curvature of the meniscus (M) is then calculated on the basis of the first distance (L1) and the second distance (L2). Finally, the surface tension of the liquid (S) is calculated from the pressure applied to the meniscus (M) from air supplied within the pipette (13), the pressure applied to the meniscus (M) from the liquid (S), and the radius of curvature of the meniscus (M).

A photonic crystal laser 10 is a laser having a configuration in which a light emitting layer (active layer 12) for producing light including light of a wavelength λL, and a two-dimensional photonic crystal layer 11 are laminated, the two-dimensional photonic crystal layer 11 having a refractive index distribution formed by two-dimensionally arranging, on a plate-like substrate 112, different refractive index regions (holes 111) having refractive indexes different from that of the substrate 112.

Abstract

In the present invention a negative impedance conversion circuit (26) imparts vibration to a nonlinear vibration element (50). When the amplitude of the vibration of the nonlinear vibration element (50) is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value, a switch switching unit (24) places the negative impedance conversion circuit (26) in a first state, in which the negative impedance conversion circuit is not connected to the nonlinear vibration element (50), and when the amplitude of the vibration of the nonlinear vibration element (50) is less than the threshold value, the switch switching unit places the negative impedance conversion circuit in a second state, in which the negative impedance circuit is connected to the nonlinear vibration element (50) and the nonlinear vibration element (50) vibrates. An amplitude/frequency detection unit (41) detects the vibration frequency of the nonlinear vibration element (50). A threshold value setting unit (4212) sets the threshold value in accordance with whether the vibration frequency is included in the frequency band at which the vibration unit vibrates, said frequency band including a multi-operation-point coexistence band of the nonlinear vibration element (50).
