<p>The fiber optic device (10) in accordance with the present invention comprises cores (32) extending in a predetermined direction and a light absorber (34) surrounding the cores (32). Opposite end faces of the cores and light absorber (32, 34) are respectively collected to become flush with each other to form input and output end faces (22, 24) of the device (10). The input end face (22) is inclined with respect to an axis (38) of each of the cores (32) at a predetermined angle. In this device, an irregularity pattern of a surface of an object in close contact with the input end face (22) can be transmitted through the device (10) and emitted from the output end face (24) with a high contrast.</p> |
