Problems solved by technology

For light reception, fiber optic bundles are mostly used at present, which inevitably increases the diameter of the endoscope and makes it difficult to reduce the size of the endoscope
[0004] For this reason, the present invention proposes a single-fiber scanning probe, which not only avoids the thickening of the endoscope caused by adopting multi-capacity fiber optic bundles to improve resolution, but also can be integrated with a single-fiber scanning vibration device on a single module Realize the convenient application of the probe in the field of endoscopy

Abstract

A single-fiber scanning probe comprises an insulator tube (1), a vibration optical fiber (3), a piezoelectric ceramic tube (4) and a plurality of receiving optical fibers. The vibration optical fiber(3) penetrates the axis of the piezoelectric ceramic tube (4), with inner and outer sides covered with metal electrodes, and is fixed by an adhesive material (5), the piezoelectric ceramic tube (4) penetrates the axis of the insulator tube (1), and the receiving optical fibers are uniformly distributed on a circle in a radius R2 relative to the axis of the insulator tube (1). In operation, after voltage loading, the piezoelectric ceramic tube vibrates to drive the vibration optical fiber to vibrate to form scanning light spots, and the scanning light spots are received by the receiving opticalfibers to form an image through reconstruction. The single-fiber scanning probe has advantages that the size of an endoscope can be further reduced on the premise of guarantee of high resolution, andminiaturization of high-resolution endoscopes is benefited.

Description

technical field [0001] A single optical fiber scanning probe belongs to the field of optical fibers, in particular to the field of optical fiber scanning imaging that can be used in endoscopes. Background technique [0002] Optical fiber is an important optical waveguide device. Using optical fiber to guide the light emitted by the light source or collecting image information at the end of the optical fiber is two important aspects of optical fiber applications, such as medical endoscope systems and laser projection systems. Usually the complete fiber core diameter ranges from tens of microns to hundreds of microns. In order to form a light source exit surface or image collection end with a certain size, the form of fiber bundles is mostly used to expand the area of ​​the fiber end face, thereby increasing the information collection surface. This optical fiber application method is difficult to fully utilize the advantages of the optical fiber, not only the formed end faces ...
