Problems solved by technology

However, the light intensity range (dynamic range) within which the light receiving element can detect the light intensity with high precision is not wide.
Therefore, it is not easy to accurately detect the light quantity of the illumination light output from the light emitting element using the light receiving element.

example 1

[0068] Such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in the light source device 1A of this modified example, the reflection surface is the scattering surface 90 that scatters and reflects the first reflected light, and the second reflected light is the diffused reflected light.

[0069] The scattering surface 90 is the first region 34A on the inner surface 34SS where the first reflected light directly enters. On the other hand, the optical sensor 40 is disposed outside the optical path of the outgoing light collected by the lens 33, that is, the second region 34B in the inner surface 34SS where the outgoing light collected by the lens 33 does not directly enter, and the second region 34B is connected to the second region 34B. 1. The regions 34A are opposed to each other with the optical axis O in between.

[0070] In addition, even if the reflective surface is a mirror surface, part of the light incident on the reflective surface is emitted as scattered light. That is, strictly...

Deformed example 2、3

[0075] Such as Figure 10 As shown, in the light source device 1B of Modification 2, the optical sensor 40 is arranged in the bottomed recess C34 of the inner surface 34SS of the holder 34 . On the other hand, if Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in the light source device 1C according to Modification 3, the optical sensor 40 is arranged in the through-hole H34 which is a concave portion of the holder 34 .

[0076] The optical sensor 40 disposed in the recess does not detect light around the optical sensor 40 that may be incident from the side.

[0077] In addition, it is more preferable for the photosensor 40 to arrange the light receiving surface 40SA at a position deeper than the opening surface of the inner surface 34SS of the recessed portion C34 or the through hole H34 .

[0078] The optical sensor 40 disposed at a position deeper than the opening surface also reduces light that may be incident from an oblique direction with respect to the light receiving surface 40...

Deformed example 4

[0083] Such as Figure 13 As shown, in the light source device 1D of this modified example, the light absorbing portion 95 that does not reflect light is disposed around the optical sensor 40 . The light absorbing portion 95 is a black chrome plating film, a resin film containing carbon particles, or the like. The light absorbing portion 95 has a reflectance of light having a wavelength of emitted light of preferably 10% or less, particularly preferably 5% or less. The reflectance is the ratio of the light that is reflected without being absorbed / transmitted by the inner surface 34SS among outgoing lights that are perpendicularly incident on the processed surface.

[0084] The optical sensor 40 having the light absorbing portion 95 arranged around it does not detect ambient light incident from the side. Since the incident light is reduced to a light quantity suitable for the optical sensor 40, the light source device 1D can detect the light quantity with high precision.

Abstract

An endoscope light source device 1 is provided with: an optical fiber 70 for guiding emitted light emitted from a light source 20 and incident from a fiber end surface 70SA; a ferrule 31 in which a through hole H31 in which the optical fiber 70 is inserted is in a ferrule end surface 31SA; a holder 34 having a reflecting surface for emitting second reflected light by reflecting first reflected light obtained by reflection of the emitted light by the fiber end surface 31SA, the ferrule 31 being fixed to the holder 34; and a light sensor 70 for receiving the second reflected light; the light sensor 40 being disposed between the light source 20 and the fiber end surface 70SA, in a region in which the light sensor 40 faces the reflecting surface via an optical axis O.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a light source device for an endoscope having an optical sensor and an endoscope including the light source device for an endoscope having an optical sensor. Background technique [0002] The light source device for an endoscope needs to appropriately manage the light quantity of illumination light. In an endoscope system including a light source device using a xenon lamp as a light source, illumination light generated by the light source device is guided to the distal end via a universal cable and a bundle of optical fibers (fiber bundle) inserted through the insertion part. Furthermore, the amount of light is controlled by adjusting the optical diaphragm of the light source device, for example, according to the brightness of the endoscopic image. That is, the light intensity of the xenon lamp is in a substantially stable state, and does not greatly change depending on usage conditions. [0003] In view of this, a li...
