  • Publication number: 20230296449
    Abstract: A temperature sensor includes: a light source outputting test light; a sensor optical fiber transmitting, when the test light is inputted, the test light at any temperature within a temperature range of 20° C. to 150° C. with a loss of 0.3 dB/m or more; a light receiver receiving the test light transmitted by the sensor optical fiber; and a processing device detecting temperature of the sensor optical fiber based on intensity of the test light received by the light receiver. The sensor optical fiber includes a core, and a clad provided on an outer circumference of the core; and, when the temperature of the sensor optical fiber increases, the temperature sensor 1 detects the temperature with a change in the intensity of the test light received by the light receiver increases, caused by an increase in a refractive index difference between the core and the clad, and an increase in confinement of the test light transmitted in the core.

  • Publication number: 20230204842
    Abstract: Provided is a light diffusion device capable of irradiating laser light onto a plurality of locations in a human body in a state in which a distal end portion of an optical transmission cable is placed in the human body. The light diffusion device includes an optical transmission cable including a plurality of cores, and a light refracting portion configured to refract the light emitted from each of the plurality of cores so that irradiation directions thereof are different from each other. With such a configuration, it is possible to irradiate the laser light in a plurality of directions when the distal end of the optical transmission cable is placed in the human body. Therefore, it is possible to change the location where the laser light is irradiated without extracting or re-inserting the optical transmission cable from or into the human body, thereby shortening the time required for photoimmunotherapy.
