<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an illuminator in which light transmission characteristics are made superior and uniform light emission is obtained and to provide its manufacturing method and an illumination optical cable. <P>SOLUTION: The illuminator is provided with an optical waveguide which has a core section that is used to transmit light beams and a clad section which surrounds the core section. The clad section includes dispersion bodies which are dispersed in the section. The bodies provide light emission by optically being excited by leaked light beams from the core section and the emitted light beams become an illumination source. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
