Optical part including integral combination of optical fiber and light emitting or receiving element and method of manufacturing the same.
摘要
<p>An optical part for light transmission comprises a light conductor formed of a core (23) of a transparent material and a clad (24) of a material having a smaller refractive index than the core material, and a light emitting and/or receiving element (21), wherein the light emitting and/or receiving element (21) is integrally combined with the core (23) of the light conductor by a material which is the same as that of the core material or by a material having the same refractive index as the core material and having a greater rigidity than the material forming the clad and/or jacket (24). The optical part can be used in a high temperature environment as well as a room temperature environment without involving any appreciable loss in light transmission.</p>
