摘要:
A method for producing an optical multiple fiber, which comprises bundling a multiplicity of silica glass light-conducting elements and drawing the bundle of the light-conducting elements in the state that a liquid intermediary material (comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of glass forming oxides, glass modifying oxides and intermediate oxides) exists among the elements; thereby providing a multiple fiber excellent in image-transmitting capacity and image-resolving power, by fusing together a multiplicity of silica glass light-conducting elements with each other in drawing to prevent the occurrence of bubbles.

A process and apparatus for producing an elongated body changing in elastic modulus longitudinally thereof with use of polymers without resulting in variations in the outside and inside diameters of the body even when the polymers are different in extrusion characteristics or swelling characteristics. The apparatus may include a feeder 1 for extruding a first polymer in a molten state and a feeder 2 for extruding a second polymer, which is different from the first polymer in elastic modulus and similarly in a molten state. The feeders alternately discharge the respective polymers, which are continuously fed to a long-land die 5 along with a lubricant supplied from a lubricant applicator 4. The polymers are formed into the desired shape and cooled in the die 5, and thereafter extruded.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an energy transmission optical fiber which is a medium for transmitting high-energy beams within an ultraviolet range such as laser beams. Since an optical fiber according to the present invention comprises a core formed of pure silica and a clad having a graded index type distribution of refractive index and said clad is disposed on an interface between the core and the clad where many structural defects are generated, the transmission loss is not increased even after the transmission of high-energy beams for a long time. In addition, since the optical fiber according to the present invention comprises the core formed of pure silica having a high melting point, the high-energy beams can be transmitted without generating a melting fracture in the core.

An improved method of preparing optical fiber preforms and optical fibers by so called rod-in-tube method, wherein before collapsing a tube to heat-adhere to a rod, a specific glass surface treating agent and oxygen gas are flowed through the clearance between the rod and the tube maintained at a high temperature, whereby an optical fiber preform free from imperfections at the interface between the rod and the tube can be produced so as to give optical fibers of low-loss. As the above glass surface treating agent, those materials are employed which satisfy the following criteria: (i) the hydrogen content thereof being not more than about 1% by weight, and (ii) the substances, produced therefrom in the presence of oxygen gas at a high temperature, having a boiling point or sublimation point of not more than the temperature required for collapsing the tube.

An endoscope apparatus has a side view endoscope 10 for side viewing an object in a radial direction of a distal end constitutional portion 14 and a balloon catheter 40. With an insert portion 13 of a side view endoscope 10 inserted in an insert tube 41 of the balloon catheter 40, the balloon catheter 40 is inserted into a blood vessel B. The insert tube 41 is provided at its distal end with a transparent balloon 42. This balloon 42 encloses the distal end constitutional portion 14. By feeding air (fluid) to this balloon 42, the balloon 42 is expanded so as to be urged against an inside wall of the blood vessel B. This causes the blood to be discharged between the inside wall of the blood vessel B and the balloon 42, thus enabling to observe the inside wall of the blood vessel B through the side view endoscope 10.
摘要:
An endoscope provided with a lighting apparatus. In this lighting apparatus, a tapered fiber is applied between a lamp and a base end face of a light guide. This taper fiber is in a tapered configuration which gradually diminishes in diameter toward an end side. The lamp is a high luminance lamp of a low outgoing angle. The lamp, a battery, and the tapered fiber of the lighting apparatus are arranged unitedly on a grip portion of the endoscope.

A pulling wire for tip articulation mechanism of endoscope is fitted with an overload preventing spring in the middle thereof. This spring is arranged to stretch upon more than a certain amount of tension. Elongation of the overload preventing spring absorbs any excessive tension which is exerted upon the pulling wire as a result of motion restriction of the endoscope. This spring is fabricated such that the material wire thereof is spirally coiled, and is simultaneously twisted so that forcing pressure is introduced in the spring in the direction in which the adjoining ring portions thereof are brought into pressure contact with one another it is subjected to tension.

Radioactive materials can be safely analyzed by an emission spectroscopic analyzer comprising an exciting device for exciting a radioactive material to be analyzed to emit light. The exciting device is enclosed in a radiation shielding wall. A detecting device detects the emitted light. The detecting device is located outside the radiation shielding wall. A light-transmitting device is provided between the exciting device and the detecting device such that the emitted light impinging on a first end of the light-transmitting device will be received at the detecting device as light having been transmitted through the light-transmitting device and emitted from a second end of the light-transmitting device. The light-transmitting device penetrates a hole made in the radiation shielding wall which has a sealing structure to prevent radiation leakage. The light-transmitting device penetrates the hole with a curvature. A lens system is attached to the second end of the light-transmitting device to permit visual observation of the emitted light therethrough. A fine adjustment device adjusts the position of the first end of the light-transmitting device in relation to the emitted light from the material to be analyzed.
