Description
すなわち、隙間の方向のどの位置で接触面に光ファイバを接触させた状態としても、圧電素子から光ファイバに伝達される力の方向が変動しないので、光ファイバの振動状態を安定させることができる。
このようにすることで、振動伝達部材に設けられた貫通孔も、振動伝達部材の外形と相似形の多角形状に構成されているので、隣接する2つの接触面に同時に接触するように光ファイバを配置して接着することにより、光ファイバへの2つの圧電素子からの振動の伝達方向を変動させずに済む。これにより、光ファイバの振動状態を安定させることができる。
また、上記態様においては、前記振動伝達部材が、四角筒であってもよい。
また、本発明の他の態様は、上記照明装置と、該照明装置からの照明光が被写体に照射されることにより、被写体から戻る戻り光を検出する光検出部と、前記圧電素子に前記所定の周波数の交番電圧を供給する電圧供給部とを備える観察装置である。
本実施形態に係る観察装置1は、内視鏡装置であり、図1に示されるように、被写体(図示略)に照明光を照射する本発明の一実施形態に係る照明装置2と、被写体から戻る戻り光を受光する受光用光ファイバ(光検出部)3と、照明装置2を駆動制御する制御部(電圧供給部)4とを備えている。
本実施形態に係る走査型観察装置1を用いて被写体を観察するには、制御部4を作動させ、光源5から照明用光ファイバ9に照明光を供給させるとともに、リード線13A,13Bを介して圧電素子12A,12Bに所定の駆動周波数を有する交番電圧を印加させる。
また、フェルール10を貫通させるホルダ11の中央孔11aについても断面形状は円形だけでなく四角形状でもよい。
