Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3429282
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical analyzer having a light source module and an optical sensor.
SOLUTION: This optical analyzer is provided with the light source module having a light source 24, and operable to generate a beam directed to an angle within a prescribed angle with resepect to the analyzer, the optical sensor 22 coupled to the light source module, having a beam redirecction portion and a sensing fiber portion, receiving the beam generated by the light source module with the beam redirection portion, operable corresponsing thereto to supply the beam toward the sensing fiber portion at a substantially fixed angle so as to generate an evanescent electric field, and collecting light emitted in response to a sample by the sensing fiber portion, and a questioning device 40 coupled optically to the optical sensor, and operable to receive the light emitted from the sample and collected.
