Fibre-type light wavelength conversion device

摘要

A fibre-type light wavelength conversion device for changing the wavelength of an incident beam and emerging it as a beam having a predetermined wavelength includines a core and a cladding layer around the core. The device is characterized by the provision of a transparent conical layer provided around the cladding layer, the conical layer having a diameter increasing at a predetermined inclination from an end of incidence toward an end of emergence. According to a further feature the conical layer has a refractive index substantially the same as the cladding layer, and the inclination of the conical layer is set to be a half an angle of emergence of a beam emerging from the cladding layer with respect to a wave guiding direction.
