OPTICAL FIBER ARRAY PLATE

摘要

An optical fiber array plate for an optical reading system, which comprises an optical fiber array sandwiched by outer glass layers, characterized in that said optical fiber array is composed of parallel array of a great number of optical fibers having no light absorber, and the arrangement is such that an incident ray is led to pass through the outer glass layers and the optical fiber array and irradiate an original placed at a reading end surface of the optical fiber array and the reflected ray from the original is led through the optical fibers to a photoelectric converter.
