ABSTRACT:
It is a collimator adapted to convert divergent light beams outputted from an optical fiber bundle to parallel light beams through a collimator lens. A large diameter optical fiber is disposed between an optical fiber bundle, which is a bundle of a large number of multimode optical fibers and serves as one optical transmission path, and a collimator lens. A cross-section of the core of the large diameter optical fiber is larger than a range in which the cores of the optical fibers of the optical fiber bundle are present. Also, a group of divergent light beams outputted from the optical fibers of the optical fiber bundle is converted by the large diameter optical fiber to one light beam.
